Time to get serious

When his instructor Valentina challenged him, Ben narrowed his eyes as he stood up to face her. Using his body language reading ability, he realized from her stern posture that this was a serious challenge. Thus, he planned to take it seriously.

Ben found it difficult to take her seriously when he heard her nasally Portuguese accent which he found super sexy, but did his best.
