Sweet Goodbyes

"Are you leaving? Oh my! I'm going to miss you," Noelle pouts as she stares at me.

"I'm going to miss you too, but I need to return to school. I have a test next week."

"Ohh, Damien told me about it. But when are we going to see you again? Will you return for the holidays?"

"The holidays?" I stare at Damien, and he nods.

"We can return for the holidays if you like. Just say the word," he tells me.
