An hour or so later, Bettie and Lance stood up and left the restaurant.

For a while, Alice remained seated. Once she was certain they had left, she got up and returned to Royce's home.

“Where have you been?" Keilani scowled and appeared irritated as Alice entered.

"I went out to inquire about the news. What's up?" Alice replied.

Keilani slammed the table fiercely and hissed, "It's all because of Tyrone! Royce started to complain a lot about me as well. He wanted me to go back. I'm out of time right now."
