Avery breathed a sigh of relief when Eve stepped through the door.
She and Elias were gone for a long time. She began to worry if something had happened. A message popped up in her locked phone screen. Her middle finger swiped it off, having already read its contents at a glance.
Eve had to leave as soon as possible. Her grip tightened around an empty drinking glass. As long as she could, she wouldn't let her and Elias be in the same vicinity. They also couldn't keep him in the restroom for a long time.
But how should she end this lunch session?
It had to be soon or someone would notice Elias' absence.
Eri leaned back on her chair, her stomach bulging out of her dress. It threatened to rip off the ribbon around her waist. She hadn't eaten so much in so long. Everything tasted really good—if only her stomach was bigger, she'd have more.
Beside her, Ede ate her last piece of shrimp. "Delicious!"
