"Oh, um, yeah." She took a tumble and felt utterly foolish.

Moira blinked. "Need me to walk you out?"

Even though Moira had escorted Barclay out many times before, for some reason, she still felt a bit bashful. "Yeah."

With time ticking away, Barclay agreed and headed for the door, with Moira quick to follow.

Jordan had been waiting for Barclay for quite a while now, starting to sweat with the worry.

Finally spotting Barclay emerge from the villa, he breathed a sigh of relief.

And when Jordan caught sight of Moira, suddenly everything clicked.

'Hey, Mr. Covington and Mrs. Covington sure have a strong bond,' he mused.

"Alright."
