Anyone home?

Jenna's car, Zoe's car.

As you pull in, you noice Zoe's car, parked in the turnout. The garage door is open, showing the Mazda occupying half the space inside. You park in the Javelin's designated spot, and head inside.
The living room and kitchen are empty, and you step into the dining room to look out over the back deck. On the patio, Zoe, Karen and Jenna are doing yoga, with Jenna leading. Karen is hitting her poses fairly well, as is Zoe. All three girls are wearing something sporty, either yoga pants and tank tops or running shorts.
You wander on to the deck, cracking the beer that you pulled from the fridge, and enjoying the sight. Zoe notices you first, and gives you a smile.
"Good afternoon, ladies." You greet them.
"How was your round, baby?" Jenna ends her downward dog pose to look up at you, and smile.
"Good. When did you all get home?"
"Oh maybe 15 minutes ago. We just started; do you want to join us?" She assumes a new pose.
"I'm going to pass on your kind offer."
"Where's Jack?" Karen asks, mimicking Jenna's pose.
"I guess he had some errands to run or something? I'm not sure."
Karen gives you a flat look, but then just shakes her head and continues her yoga.
"Well, stop distracting us if you're not going to join in, James." Jenna snaps in her instructor voice. "Focus on those deep breaths, girls."
You chuckle and turn away to hit the shower, contemplating some relaxing time with your PC before it's time to get ready for dinner at Le Chat Noir.
When you get out of the shower and head downstairs, Allison and Riley enter from the front door. You greet the girls, doing your best not to act in any way that might give up the game about your activities with Riley. For her part, she acts like the normal daughter, smiling and chatting about her day. Allison is cordial, but stiff: she seems uncomfortable here, you think.
You head downstairs to confirm your reservations and browse the internet for a while until it's time to go.

What's next?
