A Quiet Lunch
Who: Juhi and OTA Where: Circean Delight When: Noonish What: Lunch
Juhi smiled at the waitress when she brought her food, chicken alfredo pasta, something she assumed would be easy enough for them to make. She stared down at the food, realizing her sudden lack of appetite. Why had she thought it would be easy enough to eat? People were still disappearing. She had been at the security meeting last night, in the back, trying to stay unnoticed. Maybe then whatever was taking people away would leave her alone.
The scent of oranges filled her nostrils, and she pushed the plate away, sinking her head into her hands. The smell had followed her around for days now. Juhi's hands shook, and she took a deep breath. Calm down. No need to show your weakness in public. She took a deep, shuddering breath, and let it out, slowly.
