Kapitel 55: Chapter 55

The kitchen was filled with the warm hum of conversation as Ziora finally joined Diara and Raymond at the table. 

The trio sat down together, sharing laughter and stories about the previous night. Ziora, ever the life of the party, recounted her favorite moments with exaggerated gestures, making Diara and Raymond laugh until their sides ached. 

As their plates emptied and the conversation slowed, Diara and Ziora volunteered to clear the table and handle the dishes. 

The sound of running water and clinking plates filled the cozy kitchen as the two women worked side by side, their easy banter soft and companionable. 

Once the chores were done, Diara dried her hands and turned to her friends. "I've been thinking about starting my own business," she announced, her voice both nervous and excited. 

Ziora and Raymond exchanged a glance, their faces lighting up with encouragement.
