"It's been a long time since we last met. Is this your girlfriend? She's beautiful!" Cherish Turner exclaimed as she looked at the girl beside Yannis Griffith, who then nodded in response.
"Hello, my name is Grace Harper. Nice to meet you."
The girl next to Yannis reached out her hand, and Cherish politely reciprocated. However, in the instant they shook hands, Cherish felt as if the girl was using too much force. It seemed to be laden with some emotion or targeting something. Nevertheless, she couldn't pinpoint what it was, but her instincts told her something was off.
Unable to reveal her thoughts, Cherish awkwardly smiled, "Hello, my name is Cherish Turner. It's great to meet you." She replied before discreetly pulling her hand back.
As the family took their seats, Grace and Yannis sat to Robert Griffith's left, while Cherish and William Griffith sat to his right. Little Lewis sat further away with his grandparents, while Hailey Griffith sat with her great-grandmother.
