"What are you two doing?" Jess asked Markus and Ellise who were staring at each other across the twelve-seater round table. 

As if they were children caught doing something they're not supposed to, they averted their gazes from each other. 

Jess sat down on a chair that Noah pulled for her, a seat apart from Ellise. Then, Noah took the seat next to her left. 

"Let's talk," Noah said, right after he sat down. 

Markus turned his head to Noah to listen. Noah glanced at Ellise who leaned her back against the chair and crossed her arms over her chest. 

"Markus, tell me what happened?" He asked Markus because Ellise doesn't seem interested to speak first.
