NovelEnglishChapter 454:
Alice spewed a cascade of concerns in a single breath. Joanna cut her off briskly.
“Stop, Alice, just stop. You're worried about accidents, aren't you?”
Alice gave a small nod.
“You could say that.”
Her fears were many, and she offered prayers for good luck each day.
“Let’s focus on the fun. Your turn to spin the bottle,” Joanna encouraged, regretting her earlier question.
“Okay.”
The bottle pointed next, to no one’s surprise, at Susanna. The history between Alice and Susanna was rich with
shared days and deep familiarity.
“Susanna, what will it be? Truth or dare?”
The glint in Susanna’s eyes was unmistakable.
“Dare.”

Newly addicted to mini-series, Alice quickly suggested a challenge.
“Deliver three cheesy pick-up lines in under a minute.”
Susanna’s mind raced into action.
“Listen, the first one. Do you have a name, or can | call you mine?”
After a pause, she said the second one, “Are you a magician? Every t| look at you, everyone else
disappears.”
With a confident smile, she said, “Are you made of copper and tellurium? Because you're Cu-Te.”
Laughter exploded around the room.
Joanna clutched her stomach, laughter overwhelming her.
“Susanna, where do you cup with these? Have you been studying cheesy lines?”
As laughter warmed the room, Norah massaged her cheeks, sore from smiling.
“I didn’t think you'd manage it, Susanna, haha!”
Alice watched, amused by their reactions.
“I had a hunch Susanna would pull it off.”
Those lines had popped up on Susanna’s phone. Blushing, Susanna admitted shyly, “They just popped into my
head.” Her recent binge-watching of flirtation and romance videos to aid her brother's courtship of Norah had
equipped her well—perhaps too well.
“Alright, letgive it a spin—yay, it's Joanna!”
Susanna’s eyes twinkled with mischief.
“Truth or dare?”
Joanna didn’t hesitate.
“Truth.”
Susanna leaned in, curious.
“If you could peek into the future, what's the one thing you'd least want to encounter?”
Joanna paused, considering the gravity of the question. She finally replied with a light-hearted groan, “I definitely
wouldn't want to catch a glimpse of myself walking down the aisle! Can you imagine? Married with kids? That
would driveinsane!”
Joanna's firm stance on staying single was reinforced by the tales of woe she had heard from Alice about love
gone wrong, and from Norah about the trials of matrimony. She cherished her freedom more with each passing
day. Any brief image of Duncan that dared to surface was promptly dismissed.
Her perspective on relationships was met with enthusiastic nods from both Susanna and Alice, who had cto

Susanna quickly added a caveat in her heart.
“Except for my brother, of course. He's truly loyal.”
The gcontinued, and soon it was Norah's turn, prompted by Susanna.
With a playful smirk, knowing that Norah had opted for truth, Susanna fired off her question.
“Norah, tell us how far things have gone with my brother. Any juicy details to Joanna's face lit up with
anticipation, eager to hear more. Alice tried to maintain a composed expression, but her eyes betrayed her
eagerness for the scoop. Norah smiled wryly.
“That's two questions.”
“Alright, but let's narrow it down. How far have you two gone? Here are your options: holding hands, cuddling,
kissing, or... more. It’s your call.”
Susanna’s face was aglow with victory.
“Remember, you promised the truth.”
Norah found no reason to conceal the truth and shared openly, “The last option.”
Their collective response was a chorus of astonished exclamations.
All three friends reacted with equal parts shock and amusement, their surprise resonating through the room.
