Steve, sensing the tension, quickly stepped in to smooth things over by introducing Naomi again.

"Ah, yes, and let me introduce Naomi."

Naomi couldn't help but smile, her eyes glinting with a mix of pride. She could feel the weight of the group's stares, could sense their grudging respect mingled with envy.
