Meanwhile, It was night in Andalucia, Spain. Sabbath had already packed his bags to travel, he had his guitar, his costumes, his dance shoes, everything ready to go. He sat on the end of his bed and from the display of clear pockets hanging on his bedroom wall he took out the only two photos he had of his parents, and a photo of him and Noelle taken at his house last Christmas, he looked at the photo, he was smiling, he had his arm around her shoulder and she had her head tilted back in an open laugh, her eyes alive, her hair tousled. He sighed as he lingered over it, before slipping it with the other two photos into the side pocket of his bag.

He got up and went downstairs to find his cousin José and friend Juliana chatting together in the sala. He had already told José he was planning to go to Noelle's house to say his last farewell. After hearing about the nightbus, José had been super keen to tag along, and Sabbath had finally relented, allowing him to come. "José, I'm going now, you ready?" he asked. Juliana stood up, "I'm coming too, Gitano, José told me all about it" Juliana added in Spanish. "Oh, did he, now" he said, sending an icy stare José's way. Thinking about Nells had made him feel sad again, he was in no mood to argue, He shook his head, "Suit yourself" he said. He turned and headed out of the house, through the front gate and had already summoned the nightbus as the other two caught him up.

The ride was a wild one, as always, as the nightbus careened its way into the morning light, finally stopping at the end of Noelle's long driveway at the farm. The three gitanos disembarked and started the long walk up the drive. Sabbath's attention was attracted to a rather rickety looking tree house in grounds. He could see figures beneath it preparing to climb the wooden planks attached to the tree. As he walked closer, he could make out the unmistakable form of Noelle, she had Hope with her. Sabbath changed tack, heading straight for the treehouse, he was relieved, as he thought he would have to argue his way through her parents to see her one last time. This made things much easier.

By the time they reached the treehouse, the girls were already inside, Sabbath began to climb the plank ladder, followed by José, and finally, Juliana. He paused to listen to the tail end of the girls conversation. He heard Noelle say "I saw Sabbie on the train, he is a mess" before the conversation shifted to another topic. It did nothing for him to know that he'd been unable to hide how he felt. Because, he was a mess, but unlike Nells, he was a brooder, he took his hurts to silences. He climbed further up the tree, his head popping up above the treehouse floor, he looked around, spotting Nells.
