Though Amelia walked in my direction while talking with her friend, I had my eyes on her the entire time.
She might have felt my gaze, but still chose not to return it.
As both of them approached us, John and the rest kept looking at them.
"The space there is a little cramped up, so Amelia suggested sitting with you guys on this end."
It was Amelia's friend who spoke up.
As I shifted my gaze to look at her, the girl returned it for a few seconds before smiling at me.
"Jessi."
She winked at me, or at least tried to, as Amelia nudged her at the side.
I just nodded at her greeting, while John, along with Diana and the rest, greeted the two of them.
Maybe...
It was some protagonist energy that made Amelia approach her destined friends.
Looking at Noah, I could see that he had already begun to have a polite and energetic conversation with the two newcomers, his eyes specifically on Amelia.
