Zane grinned as he admired how Elysia had subtly painted her name into the artwork without disrupting its overall vibe. Both paintings shared this same feel, and it was clear Elysia was seriously talented.

Alice dropped into a chair and glanced at the paintings on the wall. No doubt–they were Elysia’s work.

She couldn’t help but smile, feeling satisfied to have a friend as amazing and tough as Elysia.

But then she realized the word “tough” didn’t quite fit. Elysia was gentle too, always speaking softly as if she were careful with her words.

Phoebe noticed Alice’s big grin and raised an eyebrow. She leaned back against the desk and smirked. “Hey, little girl, what’s got you so happy?”

Alice’s smile wavered. She looked at Phoebe with a touch of irritation. “I’m not a little girl. And I have a name–it’s not just ‘hey.”

Phoebe glanced at Alice, who looked like she was about to explode. She casually picked at her ear, thinking, “This kid is still young, but she surely has some fire in her.’

“Alright, tell me your name, and I’ll stop calling you ‘hey,” Phoebe said, keeping her tone light.

“Alice,” Alice replied.

“Alice?” Phoebe nodded, pretending like she’d just discovered something profound. “Nice name.”

“What about you?” Alice jumped in. “What’s your name?”

“Me?” Phoebe pointed to herself, shrugging like it was no big deal. “A name’s just a name. It doesn’t really matter.”

“It matters!” Alice insisted, crossing her arms. “I told you mine, so you gotta tell me yours.”
