Mona blushed at her brother's teasing and said, "It's my first time playing! I'll get better next time."
Albert looked at her, not saying much more.
Afterward, Mona played a couple more rounds. She improved slightly, managing to dodge a punch before being knocked out by a kick, but the game still ended quickly.
Albert shook his head with a hint of amusement.

Returning to her room, Mona focused on her real task. She sat at her desk and began-flipping through her college design book.

He was referring to the photo of Mona and Teddy that he had secretly discarded.
"What do you mean?" Mona asked, her attention still on her design. She hadn't noticed anything missing.
Maxwell felt relieved. "Nothing, just
