Silence covered the entire room and an unexpected awkwardness pursued. Some people swallowed their food as if they were swallowing hot lumps of coal and they shared quizzical looks. Who was going to break it to Ruth the spoiled and pampered princess that those cars were not meant for her?

His reaction caused Phoebe to let out a muffled chuckle yet she had been trying so hard not to laugh as well.
