"I might have gone a bit heavy on the chili in tonight's spicy crab dish. Didn't want you to find out," Willa quickly gathered her thoughts.

Kari let out a chuckle, "That's perfect, I've been really into spicy food lately."

Kari was overjoyed, thinking she hit the jackpot with the extra serving of crab.

"Ronald, you need to focus on your studies. The SATs are right around the corner. Don't let this mess with your head."

Willa was aware of Ronald's deep thoughts and didn't want his performance affected.
