Soon, the atmosphere changed and became even more blissful.
Amber felt like another wall was lifted between her and the others.
She had been surrounded by it all this time.
Due to her identity, she couldn't entirely be open to all of them, and somehow that created some high walls between her and Ashton's friends.
When more dishes were brought in and the scent permeated the room, Samantha suddenly stood up and ran to the restroom.
Alissa followed her, knowing the reason behind it, while the others who didn't know looked at Xander in confusion.
"What?" he asked as if what happened was not a big nothing.
"Is she sick? Why did you let her come if she was sick?" Harvey asked him with furrowed brows.
"No, that's her being sensitive to the smell of some dishes. I can't join her there, so I thank Alissa for supporting her," Xander answered, looking towards the door where Samantha and Alissa had gone.
He then looked at Timothy and nodded at him.
