“I’m sorry,” Jacob said gently. “I didn’t mean to intrude. I just wanted to make sure you were safe.” Lena gave him a small, grateful smile. “I appreciate that. But you should go now, before anyone else sees you. I don’t need more attention.”
Jacob nodded, understanding. As he turned to leave, Lena reached out and touched his arm. “Thank you,” she said sincerely. “For everything.” Jacob smiled and handed her his number. “If you need anything, just call me.”
