Mabel found herself lost in a whirlwind of conflicting emotions as she sat amidst the lively chatter of her classmates reunion party. Her thoughts were consumed by John, and the turmoil of knowing he was entangled with someone who could potentially hurt him. 


Layla, ever perceptive, noticed Mabel's subdued demeanor amidst the festive atmosphere. She approached her with concern, nudging her gently and inquiring about what was troubling her. 


"Hey! What's wrong?" Layla asked, her eyes filled with genuine concern as she settled beside Mabel.
