"Jam, don't run! Wait up!" Candy called to Jamal the next morning as she tried to catch up with him as he raced up the stairs in his quest to look around their new environment.
"Oh!" Lucy exclaimed when the kid ran straight into her, almost causing her to fall, if not for Tom who was coming behind her, and he grabbed her waist with one arm.
"Thanks," Lucy said to Tom as she crouched down on one knee to look at the cute little boy who seemed startled to have run into her, "Hello!" She greeted with a friendly smile.
"I'm sorry I wasn't looking at where I was going to," Jamal apologized, bowing his head in apology.
"It's fine. Better me than the big man standing behind me, don't you think?" Lucy asked with an easy smile, and Jamal sneaked a peek behind Lucy to see Tom who was staring at him with an expressionless face, and then he gave Lucy a nod which made her giggle, "You see?"
