Ella stood on the porch, looking at the sunset, remembering the fun times they had. Max and Lily joined her, each holding their favorite board games.

Lily"I can’t believe we’re playing again!" Lily said, her eyes sparkling with excitement. Max"Yes! These games are so much fun!"[/@ch_2_d] Max replied, smiling.

"I have something to tell you both," Ella said, a little nervous but ready. Max and Lily looked at her with curiosity.

"I didn’t play fair. I cheated in every game!" Ella confessed, her voice a little shaky. The words felt heavy.

"I was scared of losing. I wanted you to think I was the best!" Ella explained, her eyes looking for understanding. "Ella, we just wanted to have fun with you," Lily said, reaching out to comfort her. Max[/@ch_2_d]"Let’s play again, but this time, let’s be honest!"[/@ch_2_d] [@ch_2]Max suggested, smiling as they got ready to play together, promising to have fun and be fair.
