He switched off his screen. "Ugh! That is my sister, Eve, "He muttered, his words slurring.

Max looked confused. "Modeling? But she has never been before, and she is not a social person."

    He cracked his neck left and right and rolled his shoulders, walking up positively while spinning the basketball in his hands as if it were second nature. He dribbled quickly, the ball bouncing low and controlled. With a swift crossover, he stepped into his shot from the free-throw line... Swish. Clean. No rim, no backboard. Just net.
