Janet luckily manages to convince Jeff to let them go
Janet turned to Jeff with a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes. “I’m feeling much better, and we just thought, why not?” she said, painting their trip as a spontaneous adventure.
Her voice held a note of excitement, masking her inner turmoil. Jeff seemed to buy the story, albeit with a hint of doubt lingering in his gaze.
He stepped back, allowing them space to leave.
