"So you're Valley Masters now? That's amazing!" A young woman with bright, excited eyes said, her gaze flickering between Jack and Janice with admiration.
"Yeah, but Jack, what's the deal? You're looking a bit like a monkey these days. What happened?" teased a young man, the same age as the woman, his tone lighthearted.
Janice immediately picked up on the subtle shift in Jack's expression, his smile faltering as a frown creased his brow. She stepped in, her voice firm, "Hey, that's enough. Jack's sensitive about the whole 'monkey' thing, so maybe drop it."
The atmosphere grew tense for a moment before another woman, standing nearby, smoothly intervened with a playful grin. "Sensitive? No need for that. I think the new look suits you. Quite charming, actually," she said, flashing a wink at Jack, her voice laced with flirtation.
