"Hey! Eve, shut up!" Ayla exclaimed, her cheeks flushing with a mix of embarrassment and annoyance. She crossed her arms, giving Eve a playful yet stern look.

The pink-haired girl couldn't contain her laughter, offering a sly grin. "Just looking out for you. Lex needs someone to keep him in check."

She rolled her eyes, but a subtle smile tugged at the corners of her lips. That's when she invited the two in. ''Come in, you two. Mama's has been baking.''

A wave of warmth enveloped them as Ayla led them into her cozy home. The sweet aroma of freshly baked goods lingered in the air, teasing their senses.

The living room was adorned with vibrant colors and plush furnishings, creating an inviting atmosphere.

"Make yourselves at home," Ayla gestured towards the comfortable couches. "Mama and I just baked some treats; help yourselves."

The trio settled onto the plush couches, taking in the homely ambiance. Ayla disappeared into the adjoining kitchen.
