Kieran knew that, although Lila didn't express it, she cared about Terry as a friend.

Landon's eyes lit up as he glanced at Lila. He had a feeling she hadn't played many card games before.

She usually didn't like crowded places, so she often left early during family gatherings, such as the Morgan family's New Year celebration.

Kieran smiled faintly, subtly shifting to give her more space to hop in.
