Lila was at the bar in the hotel, surrounded by the others. The low hum of chatter filled the air as she looked around at her friends. They were all gathered, eyes fixed on her, waiting for her to make the “important announcement.” She stood there for a moment, holding her beer, savoring the moment before dropping the bombshell.

Taking a slow sip from her beer, she exhaled, her eyes scanning the group. The weight of the moment hung in the air, but Lila was calm, almost too casual about it.

She pauses for a dramatic effect, a small, mischievous grin forming on her lips. Lila: "Got a daughter." She said it casually, like it was something you’d mention every day, as if it were no big deal. She spread her arms wide in mock celebration, adding a playful tone. Lila (cheerfully): "Tadaaa!" She took another drink from her beer, completely unfazed by the stunned silence around her.
