Lucy was on her way to talk to the waiter when they showed up with the extra dishes in hand. She was just about to go in when Lucy stopped him.

"Leave it here for now. I'll take it in myself in a bit," Lucy whispered.

The waiter set the food down at the pickup spot, gave Lucy a nod, and walked away.

Chelsea and Hugh's voices were cutting in and out of the room. Lucy had not meant to listen in, but as she was about to walk away, she overheard Chelsea saying words like 'jerk' and 'let go.' Lucy could not help but worry about what was happening inside. She had expected them to be all lovey-dovey, but Lucy realized she had oversimplified things.
