The shocking sight sent Rose into a state of panic; her heart couldn’t handle the surprise, and she immediately collapsed from shock. Sally, witnessing the scene unfold before her, also succumbed to the overwhelming surprise and had a stroke of her own. But poor Molly, despite being the oldest and most fragile of the group, was simply too feeble to react in the same way. Instead, she sat there, wide-eyed and speechless, unable to reach for the shock that had taken her friends.
In that moment, the laughter and camaraderie that had filled the air were replaced by a mix of confusion and concern, highlighting the unpredictable nature of life, even in the simplest of gatherings.
