Ferdinand, usually reserved, found himself unusually calm around Hannah.

“Did someone upset you?”
Ferdinand, not one to badmouth others, replied, “You’ll see once you’re inside.”

“Is that so?” Hannah raised an eyebrow, looking at Avalynn.
“Are you really that good?”
Avalynn’s heart raced, but she kept her composure.
“Well… I think you’re the better one. Mr. Campbell always sings your praises to me.” Summoning her courage, Avalynn managed to reply, biting her lip.
Hannah grinned.
“Lucky you, getting Mr. Campbell’s attention. I’m looking forward to your insights when we work together.”
