Just as Ivy was about to strike, the restroom door swung open, and Amy walked in, her cheerful presence immediately diffusing the tension. Ivy, startled, quickly shoved the knife back into her pocket and turned away, masking her intentions.
"Hey, Bella!" Amy greeted her with a broad grin. "It's been a while since I last saw you. I miss having you around at work."
Bella turned, her warm smile returning as she embraced Amy. "I miss you too," she replied. "But I'm really enjoying working with Willow."
"I know! You guys did an amazing job," Amy said, her eyes bright with excitement. "Mr. Hudson is thrilled about the overwhelming orders we're getting."
