Mrs. Reyes let out a soft laugh. “Miss Bennett, are you losing control?”

Feeling an unexpected surge of boldness, Alice replied, “I’ve been sitting here so long that my legs cramped up. That's why I accidentally hit Mr. Ward. But watch out, Mrs. Reyes, you could be next.”

Caden chuckled. “I have to ask, who came up with the rules for this table?”

Mrs. Reyes replied: "Nobody created them; they have been in place for generations."

“I swear it was you, Mrs. Reyes,” Caden said.
