Victoria, marveling with wide eyes, clapped her hands and burst into laughter, her joy pure and uninhibited. Beside her, Zara sat stunned, melting admiration, utterly speechless.
Kaida, unable to contain herself, jumped up on her chair, throwing a victorious punch into the air.
Her excitement spilled over to Ryder, who lifted her up, and the two screamed with joy, their voices blending into the roar of the crowd around them.
Mercury and Cassie turned to each other, screaming wildly before they hugged and started jumping, their laughter and shouts blending as they shared the rush of exhilaration.
