The dishes started arriving at the table in quick succession.

Stoddard caught the aroma and felt his stomach rumble with anticipation. He grabbed a piece of the roast chicken, its tender meat perfectly juicy, "Delicious! I haven't had such an authentic roast chicken in ages. Today's definitely a good day." Sammy, hearing the praise, also took a piece to try, "This is really good! Liz, you should try some."

"No thanks, I'm on a diet."

Sammy quickly retracted his fork, placing the chicken onto his own plate with a chuckle, "Well, when you're off your diet, we can come back here just the two of us..."

Liz rolled her eyes in response, "Who said I would come with you?"

While they bickered, Jen, in a good mood, turned to Roseanne with a curious glance, "Hey Roseanne, I forgot to ask, how old are you? Going into grad school in September... you must be what, 22? 23?"

It was just a casual question with no other implications.

Roseanne answered just as casually, not thinking much of it, "No, I'm 26."

The atmosphere shifted slightly at her response.
