The table was quiet for a few minutes. Desmond sensing the tension in the room decided not to say anything and see how things would work out. He was forced to say something when he was almost done with breakfast and none of them had said a word, this wasn't how he pictured it to go. Both Sam and Stephanie were glaring holes at each other. Desmond figured that something had happened between them and it was really none of his business so he told himself not to get involved but even he had started to feel uncomfortable about the dead silence that enveloped the room and he decided to speak up.
"Is something the matter ladies?" he asked casually
"No nothing's wrong" they both resounded. They looked at each other and smiled and continued with their meals.
"So Stephanie how long have you known Desmond," Sam asked in an attempt to start a conversation, she could understand Desmond's intention to end the silence.
