"Hey, Jacky. Are you ok?" Dani asked, finding her friend looking like she was still in shock while Lance held her.
She was late to witness what happened earlier. Unaware that Jacky's current state was not due to the press outside, but something else she was not expecting to happen.
Jacky finally snapped out of it. Even Lance seemed surprised by the sudden turn of events. "Yeah, I think I am," Jacky answered her friend, releasing herself from Lance's grip on her arms.
She quickly turned to her friend and faced her, avoiding looking at Lance, afraid that he might read something in her eyes. She had to get her bearings in order. After that short kiss, it felt like she was drowning.
What happened with the press seemed so insignificant compared to the awkwardness and confusion she currently felt. She did not know what to think of that gesture. But she knew she could not ask Lance why he did that.
