A shift to the city - II

The next day when Evelyn woke up, it was a little late so she went directly to breakfast still in her pyjamas but with a freshly washed face and brushed teeth. 

"Good morning everyone," she walked into the dining room, "I am sorry I woke up late today." She excused herself as she went to sit on the other side of Angelo when she noticed another presence in the room. 

It was Salvatore and she didn't notice him in the room. 

She stuttered to get out the right word and ended up standing there watching him. 

"Come sit next to me, honey," Alexis patted the chair next to her which had a plate and cutlery laid out in front of it. Without embarrassing herself further, Evelyn lowered her head and walked towards the chair sitting down quietly in it. 

She got served like everyone else and when she saw the food an involuntary grumble left her stomach making her dig into her plate.
