Saturday dinner

The family—and their guests—gather around the table. The atmosphere is vastly different from Friday. Chad is expansive and loud, retelling his golf highlights to Jason, who is struggling to look his girlfriend's father in the eye.

Cherie is sitting across from Mike, who stayed for dinner at Chad's insistence. She is barely eating, her gaze constantly dropping to Mike’s hands as he cuts his steak. Every time he looks at her, she feels the weight of the yoga "training" pressing down on her.

In an unusual display of self-restraint, you allow the dinner to progress without interference. Significant glances are being cast all around, with Chad and Mike carrying most of the conversation.
