Sarah capitalized on their newfound friendship by proposing that they play the rest of the game under a "no judgment" rule, an idea that was warmly welcomed by everyone. They kept playing, interspersing trummy noboheir rounds with inside jokes & lighthearted banter about Tom's earlier mishap. Lisa became more involved than she had ever been, and as she started to understand the nuances of Rummy and appreciated the playful jabs at Tom, her confidence grew. Instead of being just a competitive game, the game became a celebration of friendship, with every card played providing an opportunity for joy rather than stress.
