No Millicent was just easy to spot because of the way she moved, because she had been dorm mates with her for seven years. Yes, that was all it was, and anyway it made her happy to see her friend regardless of her subconscious meaning.
Daphne smiled as she came within distance of speaking and gave an apologetic look when she saw where Millicent's eyes stuck. "I did not mean to bring him, I had been hoping for just the two of us but all my built in babysitters were busy." Millicent's words, however, made her laugh.
