Noelles mind had flitted to Sabbie as she examined the treehouse and the figurines. She couldn't go more than a few minutes without thinking about him. It was probably because they didn't have any closure. They had said a somewhat goodbye at the feast and Noelle still had a lot of unsaid feelings about it all.

She had glanced around the treehouse once more and caught sight of Sabbies head coming through the opening of the trap door. Her first thought was her mind playing tricks on her again. She'd imagined Sabbie not leaving her and being with her too many times.

Noelle kept a look around the treehouse and then back at her figurine. Wait.

She looked back at the opening again and indeed... Sabbies image was still there, emerging. Noelle's mouth dropped open and she dropped her pine cone cow and crawled over to him. She didn't wait to pull him into a tight hug before he was all the way in the treehouse. "Sabbie!!" She breathed and held on tight to him.

All her other emotions ceased to exist right at this moment. She just wanted to hug and hold her best friend, her favorite person, right at this moment.

It took her a few minutes to let go of him but when she did, she was smoothing his hair. "What are you doing here??" Because as happy as she was to see him here... He was definitely not allowed.
