Ella only shook her head at Mel's comment about getting busy on the bed. Sighing she put up her art stuff, and looked down at her untouched sandwich and drink. She had been obsessed with finishing the picture, so had ignored her food. Ella looked over at what Mel was putting on, and felt kind of bad about her hand me down jeans, and plain shirt.

Ella started to follow Mel out of the room, but realized she had forgotten her necklace. Hurriedly she searched through her bags, to find the it. Ella was in a near state of panic when she could not find it. A small glint of silver caught her eye, and she pulled out the necklace. Carefully, she fastened the chain around her neck.

Having found the necklace, Ella slip out of the door to the room as quietly as possible, and made her way to the living room. She looked around the room. First at Dave and Mel on the couch, then at Jack in his recliner, before walking across the room and sitting down cross legged a large winged chair. Her stomach grumbled at little at her for not eating, but she ignored it. Ella closed her eyes and leaned back, looking as if meditating.
