Timothy noticed that Mia ended up eating four pancakes, two slices of toast, and a bowl of cereal.

Did she always have such a hearty appetite?

Once breakfast was over, Laura abruptly held out an invitation. “Mia, I got you a spot as a contestant in this competition.”

Mia looked at the invitation. It was for the Fleur International Design Competition.

Startled, she asked Laura, “When did you do this, Grandma?”
