Eva Nordon
"Just leave her alone, Damien," said Eva angrily. She turned to the young girl. "I'm sorry," she said softly, embarrassed as she apologised for her husband's tactless interrogation.
She pushed Damien's hand off her leg and shrugged his arm off her shoulder.
The young girl took a phone call, becoming angry and tearful before leaving the room.
"I don't know why you always have to be so tactless!" she told Damien. "That poor girl must have enough problems as it is without you berating her!"
But before Eva could get any further into her hormone-fuelled rant, a woman in her mid-forties swept into the room with the disposition of a bossy school teacher. Eva instantly disliked her, which only added to her increasing bad mood.
She turned to Damien, about to make a sarcastic comment about the irritating teacher. But then she remembered she was meant to be mad at him and stopped. Instead, she stood up and walked over to the table of refreshments to pick up some water, leaving Damien sat alone.

Matt Newell
Matt pulled up in the parking lot outside the class, praying he was at the right place. He parked the car and got out quickly, running into the building.
"Alicia?" Matt said, getting her attention as he saw her across the room. He hurried over, kissing her on the lips before pulling her into a hug. Thankfully, they didn't seem to have started. But he was still pretty late.
"I'm so sorry, Ali," he said, pulling away. Only then did he get a proper look at her face. Her eyes were slightly red and bloodshot and he face looked a bit blotchy, as if she'd been crying. "Hey, what's wrong?" he asked gently, cupping her cheeks in his hands.
