Nora found Abi where she should have guessed she'd find her—at the cabins the campers and counsellors had stayed in circling a tree, the picnic tables campers and counsellors could sit at and the quad and an information signpost, sitting on the steps and drawing in her sketchbook, utterly absorbed in it, so zoned out she probably hadn't noticed it was almost time to leave.
Nora smiled, shaking her head fondly. Classic Abi.
Walking up to the tattooed girl, Nora leaned against the stair rail and asked, "How are you going, Abes?"
Abi startled, whirling to Nora, eyes blown wide in an expression that always reminded Nora of a scared deer.
"Oh my God, Nora, you scared me!" she exclaimed, hand to her heart.
Nora cracked a sheepish grin. "Sorry."
Abi gave Nora a look that might have been trying for intimidating, but this was Abi Bylg—the girl couldn't be intimidating even if her life depended upon it.
"Mind if I sit?" Nora questioned.
"No, not at all," Abi said, scooting over closer to the stair rail and narrowing her eyes at Nora. "Unless you want to scare me again?"
"That's not gonna happen. And besides, I didn't mean to," Nora said, sliding into place beside Abi. She gave the curly-haired girl another look before returning back to drawing, the scratch of pencil on paper adding to the peaceful atmosphere of the camp.
Looking at the sketchbook, Nora questioned, "What're you drawing?"
"Oh, just some... faces. Practice for, um, drawing people," Abi explained, still hunched over her sketchbook.
Nora arched a brow, but decided to let it go. "Okay. Though, we should probably start getting ready to head back to the lodge. You seen Emma or Ryan or Allison?"
"Uh, no. Sorry," Abi answered.
Nora shrugged. "It's cool. Guess we can wait for one of them to show up."
That earned a smile from Abi before she refocused on drawing, which Nora now noticed was of a woman's face and hands and the woman sitting down. She didn't comment, instead looking out in the distance and enjoying the peace.
It didn't last long as a new voice popped it.
"Hey there party bear!"
"Speak of the devil and she shall appear," Nora muttered as she looked at Emma strutting up to them, a smile on her face that quickly turned into a dramatic pout.
"Wow, Nora. Hi to you, too," Emma remarked, blonde ponytail swishing behind her.
"It's my new greeting, just for you. Pretty special, right?" Nora snarked, offering a sardonic smile up at Emma.
