"Miss," Jones looked at her first, before his eyes went to Lucy, "please, come inside."
Leah stayed rooted. Lucy, who was behind her, did not move an inch either.
"J-jones?" Leah stuttered before quickly grabbing and putting herself together. "What are you doing here?"
Lucy's hand landed on the middle of her back, silently supporting her for not losing it.
Jones smiled, and this one was just for the show. She had seen him use this numerous times when he did not want to smile, but they occasion called it.
"I have not arrived alone. I accompanied your father. Please, miss, come inside."
She has to go inside. He accompanied her father. Her father was here..
Her father was here!
It was either a surprise, or someone had called him. It seemed like the latter.
Jones stepped aside, silently telling them to move along and quickly.
