Linsey replied, her eyes lighting up with excitement, "Shari! You've finally arrived! I've been eagerly waiting here for what feels like forever." She stepped forward and enveloped Shari's hand in a warm, earnest handshake.
Shari paused, her expression a mix of surprise and nostalgia, as if Linsey's gentle touch had transported her back through the years.
As she observed Shari's now slender face, Linsey's eyes softened with concern. She reached out, her fingers brushing against Shari's shoulder-length hair.

"You've lost quite a bit of weight," Linsey noted, her tone light yet laced with worry. "Have you been dieting?" With a playful nudge, Linsey ushered Shari forward. "Con, let's heads in. Everyone's pitched in for tonight's feast-we should make sure we enjoy it to the fullest!" Shari's spirits visibly lifted, her enthusiasm catching up to Linsey's vibrant energy. "Absolutely, let's go!" Linking arms with Shari affectionately, Linsey guided them towards the private dining room. "Honestly, if Kane hadn't assuredyou were coming, I might have thought you'd skip out on us." Shari let out a sigh, a gentle note in her voice as she explained, "I'm sorry for the delay-my little one was having a tough night, and my mom was overwhelmed. It took a while to soothe my child." Linsey nodded and gently ushered Shari to an empty seat, her hand lightly touching Shari's shoulder.
The moment Shari entered, a wave of surprise rippled through the room, her arrival prompting raised eyebrows and stealthy glances among the students.
Wait, Shari actually came? And Linsey was the one who brought her along? Although taken aback, everyone managed to mask their astonishment with bright, albeit slightly strained, smiles.
"Hey Shari, it's been ages! How've you been?" "Come, join us and grab a bite." Despite the warm welcomes, a veil of awkwardness soon descended upon the group, the weight of a recent unsettling event still lingering in the air, unspoken but palpable.

Help yourself to sfood. We've got juice too!" Kane's declaration seemed to cast a veil of pretense over the crowd, each one subtly shifting to play along with the unspoken agreement to ignore the tension.
Shari, sensing the undercurrents, chose to dismiss her uneasy thoughts, assuming she was just being paranoid. Linsey's gaze meandered through the crowd, pausing when she realized Kristy was conspicuously absent.
Had Kristy fled the scene in a flush of embarrassment, or was it something else? Dismissing the thought with a practiced ease, Linsey redirected her attention to Shari, pulling her into a warm, welcoming conversation.
