“Oh god,” the girl sobbed. She moved forward, ready to give Minor a hug, but he stopped her with a hand on her shoulder. He didn’t speak, but only turned to Lisa.
Not one for affection with strangers, I guess.
“Don’t thank him. Thank her.” Lisa looked my way. “We wouldn’t have gone out of our way to help if she hadn’t been stubborn.”
Ooh, how is Taylor going to handle this? :3
Before I had a chance to respond, the girl threw her arms around me, hugging me tight.
😀
Lisa motioned to Minor, and he headed off to join Senegal in guard duty, leaving the rest of us alone. Better, probably, if the girl’s state left her uncomfortable or spooked around guys.
Ah, yeah, that would make sense. Although to be fair, she did just try to hug the guy.
