"Look who showed up! If it isn't the sister of Miss Nonchalance- Mrs. Snubby!" Manik exclaimed as soon as he caught a sight of Nandini entering her own living room where he had been waiting for her since the past twenty minutes.

After losing, Jeanette declared that they were done with game night and the rest had no choice but to agree. The gang then decided to go over to the girls' apartment for drinks where they ordered in food for the night as well.
