Lea's POV I wanted to run into his arms. Break down, shed all those tears, let all my worries go but I found my legs stuck on the spot. I couldn't even move. It wasn't any different for Jake. It seemed like our breathing had become difficult. Luckily, Phill came along just then, swinging his car key. Jake's gaze immediately turned hostile but Phill ignored it. " They are allowing only one visitor at a time. Isn't that right, Jake?
