The frantic beats of her heart slowed just by a few paces. The wooden male and Atticus seemed to know each other. He even went so far as to call him a friend. And extend that same warmth to her as well. They even had nicknames for each other...or at least that's what she presumed. Flip and Buffalo. Shyly, she smiled up at him, appreciative.
