The air was thick with tension as we continued to observe Amanda's every move. Her laughter seemed forced, her jokes a little too loud, and her eyes darted around the room with an unsettling frequency. It was as if she was waiting for something to happen, her anticipation building with each passing moment. I couldn't help but wonder what she was planning, what secrets she was keeping hidden. The Steele triplets were on high alert, our instincts screaming that something was off. We were determined to get to the bottom of Amanda's mysterious behavior, no matter what it took.
Finally, I couldn't take it anymore. "Amanda," I said, trying to sound casual. "Can I talk to you for a second?"
"Sure," she said, giving me a sweet smile.
We stepped outside onto the balcony, and I took a deep breath. "Listen, I know we've had our differences in the past, but I need to ask you something," I said, trying to keep my tone light.
Amanda raised an eyebrow. "What is it?"
