James's eyes got a bit more intense at the mention of a friend. He nodded, not turning down the invite but asked with curiosity, "When did you make a new friend?"

Mirabella let out a sigh, a mix of happiness and a touch of sadness. "Honestly, I've gained not just a friend but also a professor."

James's lips twitched slightly. "Having a mentor in college isn't a bad gig, right?"

"You just don't get it. It's like a fish losing its sense of fun," Mirabella replied, leaning lazily against the car door like a sly little fox.

"Isn't your fun all about making money?" James knew her habits better than she did.

"Money's just a thing. You've got to enjoy life while you can," Mirabella defended herself earnestly. "But yeah, having some savings is definitely wise."
