Good, Frolic replied, making no attempt whatsoever to withdraw her paws as she took another deep breath, because I have news. I’m going traveling. I don’t know exactly where I’m going but I didn’t want to take off without telling you. I plan to come back someday, of course! This isn’t goodbye.

She just hoped Seal took this news well, for her sake more than Frolic’s. As her eyes tracked over her friend’s face, she thought she saw the glisten of tears. Her heart fell a little as she gave Seal’s paw another squeeze. Nothing would change Frolic’s plans, though knowing her best friend wished her well and eagerly awaited her return would mean the world to her.
