Chapter 8.5
As they approached, and Lily took off her nun's habit, Josephine couldn't help it, and ran her hand through her friend's hair, whispering,
"You have such beautiful hair, I can't stand it!" she smiled, before turning back to the others with rapt attention...
...rapt attention, for Josephine of course, meaning hardly being able to pay attention. Simon was very direct with his words, however, and that made things easier for Jo. Nodding at what he said, Josephine offered an idea,
"Alright, Darren here is about as good at bodyguarding as anybody can be, so we can leave him with Victoria. Simon, you and Lily probably want a little time together, so you can go out and gather some information on this Eleanor Rosings. I can..." she paused, slightly, but then continued, "I guess I can stay here and keep Darren company, just in case he needs help at all. You know, defending, and stuff." she said keeping her gaze from landing on Lily's. She knew the second her native friend caught her glance she was doomed, so she was suddenly very busy fidgeting with the hem of her clothing.
