Autumn Shelby had just seen two vaguely familiar figures flash past when Jenna Quinn suddenly pulled her down.
Autumn didn't have time to think and asked in confusion, "Jenna, what's wrong?"
Only when she saw Clara Grant walk past, calling out for Miss Shaw, did Jenna Quinn let out a breath and toss the drink menu onto the table.
"Oh, it's nothing. Autumn, I—I just remembered I have something to do. I'm going to head out first. You can... do whatever."
With that, she stood up, grabbed her things, and made to leave.
Autumn quickly stood up as well, saying anxiously, "But, Jenna, I haven't even..."
She was still speaking, but Jenna had already brushed past her shoulder and hurried toward the door.
Autumn turned, but it was too late to call after her. She could only watch as Jenna quickly vanished through the doorway.
She turned back around and, in a fit of pique, shoved the cup in front of her. It slid forward, and a bit of the milk inside sloshed out onto the tabletop.
