My chair slid loudly against the floor, and I rose to my feet. All eyes were on me as I bent forward and shoved a few bites of food into my mouth. It was just enough to satisfy my empty stomach. I chewed and swallowed quickly before rushing out of the room. Tobias was hot on my heels, and I could h
