They need his help

Emma and Lily lead John through the lively crowd, their hands linked together as they chat excitedly. The trio navigates through the house, the sounds of laughter and music gradually fading as they head upstairs. They reach a door decorated with posters and fairy lights, which Emma opens with a flourish.

"Welcome to our sanctuary," Emma says with a grin, holding the door open for John.

John steps inside, taking in the room's vibrant atmosphere. The walls are adorned with photos, posters, and fairy lights, casting a warm, inviting glow. Clothes and accessories are scattered across the beds and furniture, evidence of a fashion brainstorming session in progress.

Lily closes the door behind them, her eyes twinkling with excitement. "Okay, John, we need your expert opinion. We've got a few outfits we can't decide on for the first day of school."

Emma points to a chair by the window. "You can sit there. We'll show you each outfit, and you can tell us what you think."

John sits down, feeling a mix of amusement and curiosity. "Alright, let's see what you've got."

Emma and Lily disappear into the adjoining bathroom, giggling as they rummage through their options. A moment later, Emma emerges first, wearing a stylish denim skirt paired with a white crop top that has a cute floral pattern. She does a playful twirl, her blonde hair shimmering in the light.

"What do you think?" Emma asks, striking a pose.

John smiles, appreciating her effort. "It looks great, Emma. Very summery and fresh."

Emma beams and heads back into the bathroom. Lily steps out next, wearing high-waisted jeans and a fitted, pastel blue blouse with ruffled sleeves. She strikes a confident pose, her dark hair cascading over her shoulders.

"How about this one?" Lily inquires, giving a small spin to show off the outfit.

John nods approvingly. "It suits you well, Lily. The color really complements your tan."

Lily grins, pleased with the feedback, and joins Emma in the bathroom once more. They continue this fashion parade, showcasing a variety of outfits, each one met with John's thoughtful comments. As the pile of discarded clothes grows, so does the laughter and camaraderie in the room.

Eventually, Emma and Lily reappear, both wearing matching oversized sweaters and leggings, a comfortable yet stylish look.

"Okay, last one," Emma announces, flopping onto her bed. "What do you think, John? Cozy but cute?"

John chuckles, leaning back in his chair. "Definitely cozy and cute. You both look great."

Emma and Lily exchange satisfied glances, clearly happy with the evening's fashion show. Emma sits up, her green eyes sparkling with gratitude. "Thanks, John. You were a great help."
