Mirabella was balancing two plates of breakfast. “Thanks, but I’ll pass. I’ve got plans this afternoon,” she declined. 

Vincent didn’t press the issue. 

Students began to trickle into the dining hall, and after finishing her meal, Mirabella didn’t return to her room. Instead, she went straight down to the lobby to walt.
