Sounds lovely to me! <3
Her voice hitched, slightly startled, the second she felt Jean's hold on her. For a split second, Paige thought it was some crazy person trying to steal her Christmas presents and was ready to have to go full Kentucky on someone's behind, stealing just was not okay! But then she saw that pretty head of ginger hair and smiling green eyes and that's all it took to return the embrace, an enthusiastic squeal passing her lips as she said, "Well ain't this just pleasant! How ya doin', Red?! Gettin' in a little bit of last minute shoppin' like Ah am, huh?"
Paige was under the same persuasion as Jean, feeling like she hadn't seen the other teenager in only God knew how long. Aside from the fact that Jean had been incarcerated for a little bit - which Paige was not all that aware of, though she'd heard a few silly rumors at the mansion "explaining" Jean's absence - the country girl took full advantage of her independence as soon as school term was over, working and exploring while she stayed in a Manhattan hotel, which meant she wasn't at the Mansion very much.
