Jenkins stopped in her tracks and turned around, a hint of a smile playing on her lips. "What? Having second thoughts about letting me go?"

The voice that stopped her was Keira's. Peter also spun around, his gaze shifting to Keira.

Keira looked at them both and said slowly, "I just thought you two could use a proper goodbye."

Jenkins was caught off guard, pausing for a beat.

Peter froze as well.

Jenkins's face tightened. "I just didn't want to lie."

"No," Keira replied. "You just didn't want to put Peter in a difficult position."
