I gulped at Rita's question while the girl indifferently blew on her chewing gum till it popped and she kept her eyes locked on mine, waiting for the answer. The members were all waiting for the answer with curiosity laced in their eyes. I could see the few hopeful looks that wished for what Diana had said was true, while others started to give an incredulous look.
