"What would the safest place for me to be right now
be? I don't want to be in the way," she said,
trembling a little at the thought of the events that
were, she knew, just beginning.
"Well," Philip answered "Probably either the library or your room. I doubt
they'll call on ye considering ye jus' got here."
They made it to the foyer and Philip saw Julia motioning to the others to
head back to the kitchen.
And then he spotted Cross.
"Of the kitchen." he said with a gentle nudge in that direction, not liking
the look on Cross' face one bit. He gave Kristin a look to tell her to head
back that way too, especially for Amber, and then went to join Julia.
"Hello, Franklin." he greeted the other man, at the same time putting his
arm around Julia's shoulder for a kind of hello hug.
