At the same time, just as Cynthia was about to look for Moira, she discovered from a close friend that Moira and Barclay had already left the party ten minutes earlier. Were they gone?

Cynthia's mood visibly soured, prompting her friend to inquire, "Cynthia, what's troubling you? You seem rather downcast!"
