When a knock sounded at the door, it brought Mona back to reality. She opened it to find Maxwell standing there, which filled her with joy. "What are you doing here?" she exclaimed. She opened the door and pulled him inside.

Over time, under Maxwell's deep affection, their relationship gradually blossomed. Hey, Elara what are you thinking about? You seem so lost in thought that you didn't hear what I said. Mona waved her hand. in front of Elara's face. Elara quickly snapped back to reality, grinning at Mona. "Oh, nothing, I just spaced out. What did you say?"

Mona repeated herself, "I said it's getting late. You two should head back. We'll pick up where we left off tomorrow, understood, Miss Whitlock?" Elara nodded. "Got it!"
