When His Eyes Opened

The huge room only had three of them. The atmosphere was rather strangely quiet.

The waiter left after serving the food.

Elliot pondered for a while. He was just about to say something when Avery jumped the gun and said something first because she was afraid that Elliot would make Hayden angry.
