The room fell into silence, so heavy that Delilah could hear faint noise from outside, people laughing, glasses clinking, life going on as if nothing had just been said.
She frowned slightly, waiting for a reaction, anything at all, but neither of them spoke.
Jade didn't even spit out the beer in her mouth. Instead, it just dripped down from the corner of her lips, completely forgotten, while Elaine's eyes widened so much they looked like they might pop out of her skull.
For a moment, they just stared. Then slowly, they turned to look at each other and suddenly, they burst into laughter.
It came out all at once, loud and uncontrollable, making the table shake as Jade slammed her hand against it while Elaine leaned back, laughing so hard tears started forming in her eyes.
Delilah's eye twitched. "I shouldn't have told you anything! You two are unbearable!"
