Leah was already awake by the time it hit 6 o'clock in the morning. She had gotten out of the bed around five, never being able to sleep in the first place anyway.
This time, instead of going for any kind of heel, she made sure to go for flat shoes. That was going to help her in running and buying her the time she needed.
She got out of the room, and at the same time, she found her father coming down the stairs. Immediately, she took a step back but kept her head out of the door to see where he was heading. He was going downstairs and not towards her room.
So, Jones had not found the opportunity to tell him anything yet.
"Papa!" She called and watched as he stopped and turned around. He took a step back and turned around before coming into her direction, and she met him halfway through.
