She reached Mela's cottage and saw her outside, gardening and talking with her animal friends
Zoe stopped to catch her breath
"Hi Mela!!"
"Hm?"
She saw her and smiled brightly
"Hey princess~!"
Zoe starts to run over to her with a huge grin on her face
She walked over and met her halfway, hugging her
Zoe hugs her back and starts to lift her
"I missed you~"
"Ah-"
She laughed a little
"I missed you too-"
"Uh...do you have some shoes I can borrow?"
Zoe starts to put Mela down
"Oh-yeah, I do but-you seriously ran all the way here barefoot?"
"Well, it was either heels or barefoot"
She giggled
