Laura Lee looked up briefly at the two, pursed her lips tightly, and then lowered her head again.
Gavin Wilson moved forward and lightly bumped her arm to suggest she greet them, but Laura shook her head with a tense face.
She really couldn't bring herself to speak, and even though she knew Tara Summer's distinguished status, looking at her at this moment still left a bad taste in her heart.
The unwillingness and jealousy in the depths of her heart still made it impossible for her to smile!
Tara Summer let go of Lila Lynch's hand, turned her head, and saw the shoving motion between them, a slight smile forming on her lips.
She observed Laura's tense expression and, knowing she made her uncomfortable, decided to leave.
"If there's nothing else, I'll be going," she said with a smile towards Edward Williams and Lila Lynch, then turned to leave.
