Friend 1 is dating a dude that she doesn't want to be, but she also doesn't like confrontation and doesn't want to break up with him. Friend 3 is pressuring her into it and Friend 1 was hoping that she has forgotten.

My table (minus Friend 3): *talking about the issue*

Friend 1: *seeing Friend 3 returning* DO NOT TELL HER ABOUT IT DO NOT REMIND HER

Friend 3: *returns*

Friend 2: *trying and failing to act casual* It seems we are experiencing...

Me: Weather.

Friend 3: *suspiciously* What were you talking about?

Me: Killing people.

Friend 3: Oh, okay. That's not that bad.

Friend 1 and me: *flash each other thumbs up behind Friend 3's back*
