Hanging Out With A Friend

"Why don't I get some snacks from the kitchen… go make yourself comfortable and I'll be back in like two minutes," Sophie explained gently.

Astrid nodded in understanding and went over to the couch to sit down. 

She kept glancing back at Sophie as if to reassure herself that this was real.

Her best friend had returned.

A warm fuzzy feeling surfaced in Sophie's heart when she saw the emotions of relief in Astrid's eyes.

It felt good to be cared for and know that someone had your back no matter what.

The hybrid girl walked over to the kitchen area and opened up the drawers under the countertop. 

There were several large platters stored inside the drawers, so Sophie chose the largest ones available. 

She placed the sweet cream cakes on the platters and made sure to stack them up nicely. 

A sugary scent filled the air and Sophie had to resist the urge to grab one of the cakes for herself.
