Leo burst into laughter in his bedroom, relieved that stupidity wasn't fatal, or else he feared Anya wouldn't have much longer to live.

Exiting the game, Leo typed into the group chat, "Wasn't me playing today, folks. We had a rookie on board."

"Your... girlfriend?"

"Yeah, Anya."

A rival in the group piped up, "You ditched us, letting your girl mess around in the game."

Leo shot back, "I let her have her fun. I've got it covered."

Then, Leo privately messaged the teammates he and Anya had played with earlier, promising to make up for the lost levels by carrying them through a few tonight.

"Man, what happened today? Did someone hack your account?" someone asked.

Leo replied, "Nope, just a jealous girl having a go with my account. If you see my moves going sideways, you'll know it's her practicing."

The team was baffled, "Man, you're spoiling her rotten."

Leo just chuckled, "She might make you lose a few levels, but I'll carry you up twice as many tonight."

"Deal!"

Leo closed the chat, amused as he watched Anya's clumsy gameplay. He couldn't help but tease, "Dope, dork, silly goose."
