Orla appeared from around the corner as she saw her mother, she smiled. Dressed in a frumpy looking cap, her classed, corduroy jacket and pants she had a generally disheveled and awkward look.
Penny brightened up immediately as she saw her daughter and quickly scooped her into her arms and gave her a big kiss on the cheek. "Mom," Orla whined though she didn't seem too exasperated at the show of affection.
She waved girlishly at Finny who came to give her a big hug too. Looking to the woman she didn't know, Orla looked between Jessica and her mother. "Orla, this is Miss Runcorn. She is a good friend of mine."
Orla looked at Jessica. "Hello, Miss Runcorn, I am Orla." She gave her a little, awkward curtsey and a small smile. "It's nice to meet you."
She glanced over at the bags of presents but tried to be patient.
