She giggled lightly, her smile becoming much more genuine at the idea that Theo might stay with her for a while. Kai didn't think she could handle being alone right now, even if she had offered.
"Sure," she agreed. "Maybe Jack's made something fun," she said, standing up. "Is Jack still here? How long have you been here? Have you been through anything weird?" She had managed to let go of Theo's hand, but she hadn't backed off much. If something happened, she intended to grab onto a person and not let go.
