The room was dimly lit as I blinked my eyes open, the remnants of a hearty family dinner still lingering in my mind. With a smile, I retreated to my sanctuary, intending to catch up with Rosa and Tina.Group Chat Vicki: Hey girls!! I'm already feeling the void without you. What's up? Tina: Crafting another chat, this time with Cindy and the lads. Rosa: Add Vicki too. Vicki: Me? Nah, I'll pass. Tina: Why not? Kyle's part of it. Vicki: In that case, I'll take a rain check. Rosa: Oh, come on. Let her in, guys! Vicki: Nope! I'll boot you if you insist...Vicki joins Military Mates Group Chat Jason: Welcome aboard, Vicki. Cindy: Fashionably late, Vicki. Someone was eagerly awaiting your arrival? Vicki: Oh, hello there... Kyle: Made it home in one piece? ... A pause ensues ... Vicki: Who, me? Kyle: Seriously? Yes, you. Vicki: Chuckles Yeah, all good... Jason: Save the love talk for private messages... 😜 Vicki: Love? Us? No way... Cindy: Let's see how long they keep up the act. Vicki: Well, guys, gotta run. Catch you later! Vicki exits the chatPrivate message from Kyle Kyle: Quick exit, huh? Vicki: Yeah, the banter was getting a bit much. Time for some quality family bonding. My sister and I have loads to catch up on. Kyle: Sister? Since when? Vicki: We reunited after ages, especially since her wedding. Kyle: Married, huh? Vicki: Yep, she's amazing, just like you say. Kyle: In my eyes, you're the only one who shines brighter. Vicki: Stop it, you're being silly... Gotta go now. Vicki goes offline(My Thoughts Is he for real? Why am I blushing like a schoolgirl?...)KNOCK!!KNOCK"Come in," I called out as my sister breezed into the room, carrying a pillow."Busy?" she inquired, settling onto my bed."Not really. Why the pillow, though?" I quizzed."Let's have a sisterly sleepover like old times," she suggested, snuggling in."Haha, my sister, the nostalgia queen," I chuckled, pulling her into a warm embrace.That night was filled with laughter, reminiscing about our childhood adventures. She shared tales of her new life, and I recounted camp escapades, even mentioning General What's-His-Name. Before drifting off, she couldn't resist poking fun at me, just like old times.
