Before I could respond, she was already out the door, 

Looking at her back, I shook my head. After I gathered my things, I followed Zane out to pick up Willow.

Zane called her parents, telling them that Willow was very fond of Penelope. He suggested that when we picked up Wills, we could also take Penelope home with us. We had expected them to refuse, but to our surprise, they agreed immediately. 

Zane, taken aback by how smoothly everything went, put his phone away and told Willow, “Her parents agreed. Let’s go.”
