"Don't lie, Elvira. Calvin and I saw it. You went to Vilzell Restaurant yesterday. Everyone has to leave but not you and Zach. Your husband must be a waiter there. Judy smiled but looked triumphant.

Elvira was bewildered. "Zach and I had lunch there yesterday" How ridiculous. They refused to acknowledge Zach could dine at Vilzell, so they assumed he was a waiter.

"Elvira, you're being ridiculous. Vilzell Restaurant was booked yesterday. Are you saying it was Zach? At least come up with something believable. Calvin looked at Zach disdainfully.
