Patrick seemed blissfully unaware of the change in Mira's expression, keeping his polite smile intact. "Oh, by the way, the professor mentioned you snagged first place in an international competition a couple of years back. That's seriously impressive, Mira."

Mirabella was speechless. He'd really done his homework, digging up stuff from years ago.

Blaze chimed in, picking up where Patrick left off. "It's a real bummer you're not going to the upcoming conference, Mira!"

Mirabella's expression remained complicated. "You didn't."

Blaze scratched his head, realizing his sales pitch had missed the mark earlier.
