Lucas was tired. He didn't sleep much the night before because of his nerves. Although he recently met up with Christopher earlier last week, their meeting was just a taste of a reunion. The thought of spending so much time with his brother and sister thrilled him and such a thrill took away several hours of sleep.
Despite the slight insomnia, Lucas was awake enough to function and when the carriage came to a stop, he immediately got out of it. He knew his attendance wasn't necessarily planned, but he knew the surprise would be welcomed. Figuring his brother was watching from inside, he waved towards the window before turning to help his sister down.
