Why isn't she dead yet?

As they sat down, Zaria caught sight of Natalie heading towards them. She had a megawatt smile as she pointed at the seat on the other side of Zaria. "Is this seat taken?"

"No." Zaria smiled and the two hugged.

"I haven't seen you in a while." Her jovial mood was contagious as she circled the table to kiss Isabella on the cheek. "Hey Izzie."

"Now here's one person who knows how to express their love for me." Isabella hugged her and made Zaria laugh. So, her love language was to be called Izzie. She would take note of that.

"Is there anything you like? I'm here for pretty much anything that catches my eye." Natalie was speaking a little too fast and Zaria found it odd. What had her in such a good mood?
