She didn't exactly desperately want to speak to him, but he looked sad... and you didn't just let another Huffie go sad.
"Jaaaaake." she called, to get his attention , sliding a few inches down the bench to talk to him, still keeping a possessive eye on her seat next to Emalyn. "You look sad." she pointed out, giving him a look that clearly said you're-not-allowed-to-be-sad-while-sitting-at-this-table-so-there and poking him on the shoulder.
Hearing someone call his name, Jake turned and looked down the table a tad.
"Hmmm?" he answered automatically, before he noticed who had spoken to him.
"Oh, hey there, Melanie," a slight smile appeared on Jake's face out of the recognition that he now had company.
"Yeah... yeah, I am a bit..." Jake nodded, face falling a tad, again.
"I just... don't want this year to end, I guess..."
Resting his elbow on the table, Jake propped his head up on his hand and kept his head turned towards Melanie.
"How are you holding up?"
