Abigail’s Second Life

It was Irene's turn next.

She took a deep breath, her eyes fixed on the screen with determination before she started to sing.

As soon as her voice filled the room, everyone fell silent.

Her high notes were mesmerizing, and it touched the hearts of everyone present.

Abigail was surprised by how beautifully she sang. Her voice was like magic, sending chills down his spine. And

as she switched to the softer parts of the song, her voice took on a gentle, otherworldly quality. The song's lyrics

were exceptional which added to the enchantment of her performance.

Irene effortlessly shifted between different tones. Thus, showcasing her versatility.

Irene is truly wasting her talent as a designer. Her true gift is clearly in her singing! thought Abigail.

Even Sean, who had never paid much attention to Irene before, now recognized her brilliance.

Kevin was entranced and silently captivated by her performance. A newfound emotion filled his heart as if he

were floating on air, filled with joy and longing.

After the song cto an end, Shaunee suddenly clapped her hands. "Holy crap! With talent like yours, why do

you want to be a designer?"

"Seriously, you're amazing! Was your Aktani super good when you were in school?" Eilane asked. She had the

highest education level among them, and Aktani was her best subject. She now did translation work at home.

As a graduate student, Isla also had a strong command of Aktani and could tell that Irene's Aktani skills were

solid.

"| fell in love with Aktani songs the first t| heard them in a mall, so Aktani becmy best subject," Irene

said. She always got top marks in Aktani from the moment she started learning it.

"Wow, that's impressive! Can you sing the song you just sang again? | really want to hear it!" Shaunee pleaded.

Irene felt a bit embarrassed. "Let's take a break. Everyone can take turns singing."

"Okay!" Shaunee agreed, not wanting to pressure her.

Just then, Kevin walked over. "How about we play a singing game?"

"How does it work?" Abigail asked with interest.

Since Irene was such a great singer, it would be nice for her to sing a few more songs to boost her confidence.

"We'll use a spinner. Even numbers team up for duets, and odd numbers sing solo. There's no prize, just pure

fun!" he suggested. He also hoped Irene would sing a couple more songs as she was enchanting when she sang.

"Okay, I'm cool with that." Abigail nodded.

Isla's eyes widened in dismay. "Oh no, I'm absolutely dreadful at singing!" Sear*ch the Find ngvelwebsite on

Google to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.

"Well, go find your husband then," he teased, not allowing her any room to protest.

With that, everyone shuffled around to find their seats.

Once everyone was settled, Kevin grabbed the spinner.

Abigail sat beside Sean, whom she was supporting for his trial the next day. Tonight was a chance for them both

to unwind and forget their troubles.

With the spinner ready, Kevin and Irene took their seats together.

Pairs were formed, leaving him and Irene as the only singles.

Kevin's voice cut through the room. "Alright, let's roll the dice. Whoever rolls the lowest score gets to kick things

off."

With props distributed to each pair, including himself and Irene, the gwas ready to begin.

There was a collective understanding that the worse you were at singing, the lower your score would be.

Isla let out a resigned sigh as she spun the spinner. "What rotten luck. | can't sing to save my life, and yet, here |

em’

"Seems like we're nitpicking with a fine-tooth comb," quipped Shaunee, the undertone of her words carrying a

hint of unfortunate truth.

"Odd number!" Abigail quickly chimed in, steering the conversation away from the previous comment.

Cameron was pushed into the spotlight to sing. He opted for a rendition of "Looking Back Again," a choice

inspired by a recent that evoked memories of the song.

Isla had always had a soft spot for this particular melody. As she watched him sing, her eyes shimmered with

admiration.

She ended up marrying that man who seemed capable of doing anything after they met by chance on the street.

Cameron poured his heart into the song, and his genuine emotion captivated the audience.

Once the song cto an end, the room erupted in applause.

When Kevin was rolling the dice, he couldn't help but comment, "You guys sing so beautifully. It's makinga

bit nervous. I'm not exactly a pro in singing."

"You haven't even sung yet, so who knows? Don't sell yourself short!" Eilane teased playfully.

"With all this charisma, it wouldn't be fair if you didn't beca prince of love songs, right?" Alfie joked with a

grin.

Josh cleared his throat and turned to Luna, asking, "Do you have a favorite song?"

Kevin felt a surge of irritation at Alfie for bringing up such a sensitive topic in the midst of a good time. Why spoil

the mood? He had been single all this time, and it was his responsibility!

This time, Eilane had the lowest score and chose the birthday song.

"I'll go!" Alfie exclaimed, then turned to Isla and said, "You should have chosen that one, then your husband

wouldn't have to do it for you."

"Are you implying my husband can't sing well?" Isla asked, sounding slightly offended.

Alfie quickly begged for mercy. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, | didn't mean it. Please don't mind my ramblings."

"Hmph!" Isla's playful demeanor softened as she hugged Cameron's arm and teasingly remarked, "He sang it

just for me, didn't you, darling?"

Cameron affectionately pinched her cheek, his tone lazy yet fond, "Yes, | recall how much you adored this song

while watching TV s, so | thought I'd give it a try."

When it cto Alfie's turn, he held up the microphone, cleared his throat twice, and began to sing.

The song he chose was "King of Party," a lively tune that set the perfect mood for summer festivities.

"Isn't this song just ideal for summer parties?" Abigail whispered to Sean. She noted how the tune exuded

cheerfulness, and the lively vibe of the song matched Alfie's flirtatious personality.

Shaunee couldn't help but grumble with a touch of annoyance, "This is a tune from a video gthat he

stumbled upon while scrolling

he

through short videos, and now sings it every single day. My ears are practically worn out from hearing it

every day! But | suppose it does match his playful nature."
