Penny tiptoed toward the mezzanine. Reaching the railing, she lowered her head and checked over the stair railing. When she was certain no one was around and that only the dim lights were on, she quietly carried on while tiptoeing.

"He he he."
Would it be too late for her to act like she was sleepwalking now?
"You're worried about the girl and her mother from earlier today, are you?" Charles guessed, watching her pursed her lips. "It's okay, Penny. I'm not angry
If Penny was more agile a little bit more, she would've crawled as fast as she could to leave. Her father might get angry, but she also didn't want to be stopped. Hence, she crawled her way back: and stood in front of him, wearing her most adorable and pitiful expression.
