"Okay. Thank you." The rest of their meal was relatively quiet. There was definitely tension in the air, but hopefully it would dissipate. When they'd all finished, Vanessa cleared their plates to the kitchen. She rinsed them, setting them aside. "I guess we'll be back in a couple of hours." She gathered her things, and she and Brian left. She looked back over her shoulder at Beth, and gave her a "Thanks for saving my ass" look. She held her breath until they made it into the elevator and the doors shut.
