"Rose, you go trace the shoreline and find a good spot—" Ace instructed Dame Wasp as he returned from the lake under the cover of the 'Invisible' talisman. He had just reached the sliding glass door of his room when a sudden voice interrupted him.
"Ace, is that you? Are you outside? Who are you talking to?"
Recognizing the voice, Ace quickly deactivated the talisman, grabbing a nearby flower pot to cover his groin. Dame Wasp, already in stealth mode, remained unseen. The sliding door opened, and a blonde head peeked out—it was Mandy. Her eyes widened in shock as she took in the sight of a naked Ace, her gaze lingering on every exposed inch. A frown creased her brow as she scanned the patio, clearly searching for the invisible companion.
"Where did Rose go? I wanted to meet her," she inquired playfully, her voice tinged with confusion.
