Shane and Nicole hugged, Maryloi appeared, a smile on her face. "Shane!" Maryloi exclaimed, rushing to hug her sister.
Shane's eyes welled up with tears as she hugged Maryloi tightly. "I was so worried about you guys," Shane said, her voice shaking.
Nicole and Maryloi exchanged a glance, and Shane noticed a hint of sadness in their eyes.
"What's wrong?" Shane asked, her instincts telling her that something was off.
Nicole hesitated before speaking. "We have a lot to tell you, Shane. But first, let's find Gwen."
Shane nodded, and together the three sisters walked out of the mall, searching for Gwen.
As they walked, Shane couldn't help but notice that Nicole and Maryloi seemed...different. They were quieter, more reserved, and there was a haunted look in their eyes.
Shane's instincts screamed at her to ask questions, but she didn't want to push her sisters too hard. Not yet.
When they finally found Gwen, Shane's sister was overjoyed to see Nicole and Maryloi. The four sisters hugged, tears of joy streaming down their faces.
But as they pulled back, Shane noticed that Nicole and Maryloi were still holding back. There was something they weren't telling her, something that had happened on the island.
Shane's determination grew. She was going to find out what had happened to her sisters, no matter what it took.
"Let's go home," Shane said, her voice firm. "We have a lot to talk about."
Nicole and Maryloi exchanged a nervous glance, but Shane just smiled. She was ready to uncover the truth.
