Lena so hoped this went well. She wanted them to meet on sort of neutral ground where Jayden could escape if he wanted, before the Delacroixs came over for dinner and Jayden was just stuck at their house.
She spotted Jesse and raised her arms in greeting. "BOYS!" she called out, then slung her arm around Roxanna's shoulders.
Jayden was shy, hanging behind his brother as they met up with the others and Lena did introductions. When it was over, he finally waved a little, shyly. "Pleased to make your acquaintance," he said, because Jayden was polite if he was anything at all.
