Summary
Mira snorts—she knows they're just joking. "So, what game is this?" She gestures to the board in front of her.
"Ah-" Rumi puts the wrinkled manual on the table and slides it to Mira. "It's Monopoly…?"
Mira frowns while analyzing the setup. "So this is Monopoly…"
Rumi arches an eyebrow. "You never really played it before?"
"Not really, no. I've heard of it before, though."
"Monopoly's like—one of the biggest board games ever. A classic," Zoey comments. "You never played with your family before?"
Mira takes the metallic token in the shape of a race car to see it from up close. "Not really. My parents travel a lot, so quality time is pretty rare."
"Oh." Rumi lets scape, as both she and Zoey look at her, wide-eyed.
OR
Zoey and Rumi are players, because they play board games. Mira is a player, because she plays with people's feelings.
Nobody here has a dictionary.
