"Is that who I think it is?" Amara Bowman was shocked at the presence of the two new people who just joined them. Particularly, their attention was fixed on the woman beside her brother. She clearly stood out like a sore thumb. Not a single person expected her to be there. Not only her,but no one expected Asher to arrive with a woman.
What shocked everyone further was that the woman looked to be calmer and more composed than they all knew her to be. No one could blame them, as the lady was known far and wide as a hothead who couldn't be controlled by her own family.
"Asher, you finally showed up." Amara quipped gingerly. Meanwhile, after hugging her brother, she stopped there, without going further to interact with his companion.
It was an awkward moment, and the lady accompanying Asher didn't even know how to react.
