now? Why did she chere? Is there something going on?" "Nothing much." Nicole didn't elaborate further and
turned to Lulu, saying," Tia and Stanley's wedding is the day after tomorrow. Have you got the big gift you
mentioned ready?" "It's all set. | went shopping for it with June," Lulu replied, then asked Nicole, "What about
you? Is everything prepared on your end?" "Yes," Nicole confirmed.
"Tflies, doesn't it? It feels like just a moment since you've been back, over a year now. Thinking about all
these years, we've all changed so much and now have our own families," Lulu remarked, reflecting on the
upcoming wedding.
"Indeed, but while it seems there have been changes, it also feels like nothing has changed at all," Nicole said
with a light smile.

Lulu looked at Nicole and said, "It's because you're back."
Her return seemed to have brought back the vibrancy of their past. Without her, maybe they would still be
feeling down.
Nicole smiled warmly, grateful to be back with her family and friends.
While they were talking, there was a knock on the door.
"Cin," Nicole called out.
Patricia cin, holding a document. "Ms. Riddle, there's a document for you to sign." "Okay," Nicole said,
taking the document.
"Patricia, are you going to Stanley and Tia's wedding?" Lulu asked, curious.
"I don't think so," Patricia replied, hesitating because she hadn't received an invitation.
Lulu frowned slightly. "Why not? It would be nice to join in and have fun together."
Feeling a bit awkward about not being invited, Patricia just shook her head with a smile, offering no explanation.
Seeing this, Lulu didn't press further, understanding that it wasn't appropriate to insist.
"All done," Nicole said, handing the signed document back to Patricia.
After taking the document, Patricia nodded and said, "I'll be heading out then."
Once Patricia had left, Lulu shrugged, "Did | say something wrong? She seemed a bit down." "It's nothing. She
can decide for herself," Nicole reassured Lulu.
"Okay," Lulu nodded, then added, "I'm heading out too."

Patricia?" "She just took a phone call and went out," Lulu said, then leaned in closer to whisper, "It sounded like
Ellar's voice on the phone."
Nicole smiled. "You'd make a great detective."
Lulu nodded. "I didn't want to make things awkward for Patricia. That's why | didn't ask too many questions," she
said, looking pleased with herself.
