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.

Shelly strutted into the dining room and said casually, “Mia, that’s no ordinary competition. Considering how unskilled you are, you shouldn’t bother joining.
