Brandon scanned his room cautiously and then opened the window in increments.
“How’d you know I was watching you?” Jioni said as she pushed him out of the way and climbed inside.
Brandon smiled. “You’re not really stealthy. And I was trying to show off and, well, I don’t think I did a good job at it.”
“No, it was really good. Look at you,” Jioni punched his arm. “I thought it was impressive.”
Brandon blushed then set down his lance and put his finger to his lips. “Thanks, and I’m sorry. I think Jolene is awake. So we have to be really quiet.”
Jioni nodded.
