"Selena, you little sneaky thing." Lyra replied, wearing a smile as she approached to shake her hand.
"For once I'm glad to see you," Mia said, withdrawing her hand to tie up her wet hair while Lyra reached for Jeffrey to shake his hand as well. "I see you've been well," she addressed him, ignoring Mia's comment.
Jeffrey smiled, giving her a simple nod. "And I wonder how you found me. But I've been good. How have you been?"
"On an errand to bring you home in peace," she said, jumping straight to the point, still holding his hand.
Mia cleared her throat when she noticed and drew closer to whisper in his ear. "She wants to do positively more than take you home."
Jeffrey's face flashed in shyness, and he shook his head. "For treason?"
