Julie's eyes flicked between Haruna and me, her expression growing more concerned with each passing second. She could sense the tension, the unspoken currents running between us, even if she didn't know the cause. Her thoughts were a mix of concern and curiosity:
[What happened to this cheerful girl? She was fine just a little while ago. Did Jack say something to her? Or... or did he force her? But no, Jack isn't like that. ]
[He wouldn't really force someone. And anyway, I don't think there's any woman who wouldn't like Jack, or feel forced when she's with him. He has a way about him that just... draws people in. Makes them want him.]
Her thoughts trailed off as she looked at Haruna, her expression softening with concern. [Does she really miss her mom so much? Should I...]She was thinking about Haruna, about what she could do to help her.
