I mean that would be why they are here..." he added the last bit mainly as an afterthought. "Ladies first" he directed at Tessa, and the girl who he didnt know yet with a boyish grin and a melodramatic bow, before seriously offering his hand to help them get in the boat.

And as an Italian, Leo was most certainly a gentleman.
