When Alex saw Scarlet again, she jumped off the couch and ran over much to Jenna's displeasure. Running was unbecoming of a lady but the butler decided to overlook it for Scarlet's sake.
"What did my mother do to you?" she asked while circling the girl, inspecting her for signs of abuse.
Scarlet found Alex's behaviour highly amusing but was startled when the girl got a little too into her personal space until Jasper reeled her back. Jenna didn't comment on Jasper's actions as if it was a common occurrence.
Scarlet smiled at Alex's concern. All her life she never knew what it was like to have the company of others like this but for some reason, she didn't dislike the rowdiness going on in the Wilde house. If anything, Scarlet secretly wished that she didn't have to go home so soon. She would choose the constant buzz of petty squabbling between her friends over the pin-drop silence at home any day.
"It would be nice if I could stay here forever," she whispered.
