Hazel entered her apartment and found all of them already seated in the dining room.
'Come on honey, we were just waiting for you!' Charlotte called out from the table.
Hazel noticed that the kids were watching TV in the living room. She quietly made her way to the dining room. There were two seats left. One was next to Chris and other was next to Ryan. She went and sat next to Ryan because she felt it was really inappropriate to sit next to Chris. While the others kept chatting to one another Hazel and Chris were awfully quiet.
'Haze! I need to talk to you after lunch' Ryan slowly whispered to her. She nodded in acceptance.
'Chris, are you okay?' Ed asked observing the sullen look on his face.
Chris looked at him.
'We need to talk after lunch' he said to Ed.
'Ok' Ed answered him nodding slowly.
After lunch all of them went to the living room.
'I will be back' Hazel told them and left the apartment with Ryan.
