Grace couldn't help but smile back, the playful tension in the air making her feel slightly more at ease.
"I suppose you could say that," she replied, her voice light, yet there was a hint of something deeper in her words—an unspoken acknowledgment of the attraction that had grown between them.
"Careful now, Grace," another wife teased, winking at her. "We don't want Ross getting any more ideas. He already has more than enough women in his life to keep him busy."

As the conversation continued, more questions came, some more direct than others.
But Grace felt a sense of understanding growing between her and the wives, as if they were all acknowledging the complexity of their shared relationship with Ross.
