Chapter 4: More than a friend

He was Bodi! But why did he look like this? Why did he have this odd makeover? Why did his hair look so awesome? And why the hell did he look so damn hot I barely could recognize him!? Only a few days ago he was the same mastiff, in those strange clothes and his silly hat, but now he looked like some kind of soap opera's leading actor or Casanova. Oh no! I think my wish came true to talk to him personally but... What the hell was going on here!?

"Bodi, what happened to you?" I insisted amazed, "Why are you dressed like that? Or rather, why are you here?"

"Well, I…" he scratched his head and stopped smiling, wincing with embarrassment, "I've come to talk to you, Darma."

This didn't look well, I was beginning to feel more awkward than I should be.

"T-to t-t-talk to me? And you dressed like that just to talk to me?"

"Yeah... well no. The thing is... ah," he sighed, "it's a long story…"

"Don't worry, I have a lot of free time…"

"Errr... Ok…" Bodi seemed uncomfortable telling me that, "... I've wanted to talk about something very important but, I didn't know how to tell you, so I asked my dad for advice. He told me, in order to talk with a lady about it, first…"

"Wait, what?"

"... I have to be presentable, although I still think this's too much... I feel like a fool about this."

"Of course you're a fool, but I must admit you're a good-looking one. Ugh!" I hurried to cover my mouth, 'Oh no!' I said mentally, 'What on earth am I thinking?'

Bodi saw me with some shyness and embarrassment as he stood with one paw into his pocket and another one in his back.

"I-I-I mean! You look too good-looking for the city, a little formal for my taste, but it's much better than your typical village clothes and your silly hat."

"Thanks, Darma... Hey! My hat is not silly!"

"Yes, of course it is, Bodi."

The dog made an annoying grimace, but then he smiled amused, it's the closest I've seen him angry, he's always too laid back and positive. The air tightened a little less and now he looked a bit calmer.

"Oh! Before I forget it. Have this."

Bodi held out his paw and handed me a bouquet with a few red, white, and pink flowers which took me by surprise. This was getting more and more embarrassing. Why was Bodi doing this? In a normal situation, I'd have rejected this show of affection, even I'd have tossed them in the face, but it was so rare and unexpected I accepted them almost mandatory and with a strange tingling through my stomach.

"Thanks, but why...? Why do you give me this Bodi? Perhaps, do I li...?"

"No, no, no!" he waved his paws and then shook his head, "Your mom sent them, she asked me to give them to you."

"Well... wait, what? My mom? Why...?" it hit me like a bucket of cold water, "BODI, DID YOU TALK TO MY MOTHER!" I cried out hysterically and so loudly the mastiff was startled and all the animals near the park turned towards us.

What was the hell wrong with him? Why did Bodi meet and chat with my crazy mother? I thought he just wanted to be his girlfriend, not to pop the question! Seriously, this whole mess has already tried my patience, I had to end this immediately!

"Hey, I'm so sorry Darma, I didn't think it'd bother you so much…!"

I saw him genuinely scared. Okay, maybe I overdid a bit. I took a deep breath and calmed down, Bodi looked concerned, maybe there was an explanation for this; if not, he really would regret it.

"I'm sorry, I didn't... it took me by surprise. Ok, just tell me, why did you talk to my mother, Bodi?" I said, gritting my teeth, "Or rather, how did you know where I live?" I questioned him more accusingly than I should.

"Well, since I didn't know how to find you, I went to see Germur first, he told me where you lived…"

First thing tomorrow morning: I'm gonna punch Germy in the back of the head.

"...so I went looking for you at your home to talk personally, but your mother opened the door and…"

Well, that made more sense, maybe I was overdoing it a bit. Asking for my paw? What the heck was I thinking?

"... she asked me who I was and what I wanted, I told her I was a friend of yours and she immediately invited me to come in."

Although I didn't expect anything good coming from my mother. This didn't look fine.

"Ok, and then what happened?"

"Your mom was a very nice and kind lady, she invited me to sit in the living room and offered me tea and little cookies. They were very tasty by the…"

"Get to the point, Bodi!"

"Oh, sorry. Anyway, she started asking me questions about myself, my name, my job or occupation, how long we know each other, how and where we first met, how close we were, if I thought you're gorgeous and if I can bear your bad temper, what interest I had in you…"

It wasn't just bad. It was much worse than I thought! Of all the people Bodi would find, why has it been precisely my crazy mother!? She desired that I'd go out with guys and have boyfriends like my cousins. Even married and with children! I stopped bringing male friends to my house for that reason, she harassed every one of them just like Bodi. It's always the same with her! It seemed more like she was the one who wanted to hand over my paw in marriage to any guy. And now that guy was this dog!

"Ok, enough! I've got it, Bodi."

"Alright Darma."

"Did she tell you anything other than personal questions?"

"I don't think so. After that, she told me about how much she cared for you, about how sad did she feel because you always were so lonely and she concerned for your safety when you returning late. She said she'd feel calmer if you'd have a handsome boy by your side bringing you safe and sound to home…"

This couldn't be more embarrassing. At this point, I was afraid to keep asking.

"... and even if you weren't a vixen as attractive as others, deep down you are very…"

"Ok, enough!" I cut him off very mad for the last part. Very subtle, Bodi, "Say no more... well, just one thing, why did my mom ask you to send me flowers?"

"No idea. When I told her I wanted to talk to you about something important and I asked her for advice, she got very excited and started saying a lot of things…"

Kill me please.

"She suggested me to give you flowers. Which is weird, because I thought you didn't like flowers, Darma; but your mom insisted and even gave me money to buy them, and I did so."

"Oh, Mom. She knows I don't like these things! Why in the world...? Wait a second. Why did you know I don't like flowers?"

"You told me long ago."

"Did I do that? I don't remember it. But it's a minor detail, isn't it? Why haven't you forgotten it yet?"

"I dunno. I always pay attention to every single word you say."

We quite suddenly. I looked at Bodi and he seemed a little nervous, he wanted to tell me something. After all this show, I thought it was time for ending this. I took a deep breath, left the flowers on the park bench next to my bass, and began to talk.

"Bodi…"

"Dar-," he interrupted me, "... err... sorry, talk first…"

"It doesn't matter, but thank you. You have been acting very strange these days Bodi, and you haven't told me why. Is about what you wanted to tell me today, isn't it?"

The boy only nodded. I only sighed, confirming my suspicions and trying to prepare myself for what was coming for.

"And I suppose the advice you have asked Angus, your father and my mother has to do with me, right?"

"Afirmati- wait, how do you...?"

"Mah, feminine intuition, I think. It must have been something very important and difficult for you to have taken so much trouble."

"Yes... well, not so much but…"

"Hey, it doesn't matter Bodi, just," I sighed tired, "ah, just tell me. I'm all ears."

The boy remained silent for a few seconds, he swallowed hard with a little haste, took a deep breath and his face changed from a nervous and insecure one to something more firm and serene look.

"Darma," he said in a deep, gravely voice, "I...oh, I can't." his brand-new manly voice was lost at once.

"Hey, chill out, if you prefer I can…"

"The thing is, I was asking for advice because I wasn't sure how to tell you this…"

"I get it, Bodi; that's why I think…"

"... but everyone was telling me different and strange things, and I really can't do it the way they want …"

Hey, don't ignore me, you rude.

"I think these clothes," he said, taking his sack with a paw, "or the flowers are too much for what I wanna tell you and-"

"Bodi!" I yelled and he turned to look at me, "Whatever you have to tell me, just do it your way, okay? Be yourself, but just do it, will you?"

"Darma…"

The mastiff saw me in surprised like a fool, then smiled at me with a more confident gesture and nodded.

"Alright Darma…"

The dog approached me and stared into my eyes, the short distance between our snouts made me nervous and worry more than I should, more than enough when I felt his breathing so close to mine; without losing eye contact, I felt some big, huge furry paws over my own ones, their chubby, thick fingers barely managed to catch mine timidly, I didn't know why something so trivial and simple made me too much nervous, and never knew why I couldn't let loose him right away.

"Darma…" he said in a soft, warm voice.

"Bodi? What... what do you think you're doing?" I asked sorta confused, "What was that important thing you have to tell me?"

Weird. All the hurry for Bodi to told me about his feelings had faded away, unknown to me, I wanted to hear what Bodi had to say, despite knowing what it was and despite already have my answer.

"I know I haven't gotten to know you very well yet, but in this short time that we have spent together with the band, eating together, resting in between rehearsals, the concerts we have played or the times I have accompanied to your home; everything has been a very pleasant experience to me."

Bodi spoke in a such a natural and relaxed way, almost the same as he used to talk to me, but at the same time, so different from other times, he spoke in a different manner, with another pitch, one that made him sound more confident about himself and with a hypnotic and, for lack of a better word, almost... seductive voice... Why? Why was this happening? Since when did he become so attractive or almost... romantic? Perhaps was it the clothes and the hairstyle? The detail of the flowers? His warm breath on my face, the fluffy touch of his paws and looking at me like no one had seen me before? Or that strange but addictive fragrance I had just noticed? Heavens! What was the hell wrong with me?

"You're a fantastic girl, an excellent friend and I like you a lot, I know maybe I haven't met many animals, but I think you're the most incredible and amusing female I've ever met"

'No Bodi, please stop, cut the mushy talk, please! I'm nothing like that, I'm not the girl you're talking about'. I thought in that moment, but I didn't know why I couldn't get it out of my chest. My curiosity, my stupid curiosity to know what he was going to tell me didn't let me speak to interrupt him... or maybe, it was attractive and addictive to listen to someone saying those words I didn't know I liked to hear until that moment.

"Because of this, I've thought about to go to the next level, consolidating this friendship and being something more than your friend." he emphasized that last part way too seriously.

"Oh Bodi, I'm not…" I avert my eyes, I didn't know whether it was by the few subtle words or by shame and sorrow that crossed my face at that moment, I couldn't look into his eyes, not like this.

"Darma, listen to me, please."

I looked away a little more, it was so sudden that a feeling of dread settled over me, especially because I knew what he was going to ask me, and especially because I know what I would respond him; if he really thought that of me, if he really felt that for me, I realized that if I saw him in the face and told him that I wasn't interested in him as he was in me, I couldn't look at him again in the eyes for the rest of my life with the band. Why did I suddenly worry about his feelings? What did this dog have that makes me detest and underestimate him for a moment and then worry about him and feel love? Wait a second, did I just said 'love'? No, no, no, no, no! No freaking way! He was my friend, he was nothing but my friend and I didn't want to hurt him. I had to leave, I had to leave right away! This was too much for me.

"Bodi, I'm not... I'm sorry..." I let go his paws without seeing him in the eyes, "I can't..."

"Wait!"

He took one of my paws again, preventing me from turning my back on him, then I felt one of his enormous claws on my cheek making me turned to look at him immediately, I couldn't help but lost into his gaze again, he seemed a little concerned but when we saw each other, he showed me a warm smile.

"Just listen to me, Darma," he retired his paw from my cheekbone, "listen to what I have to tell you."

"Hey, better at another time, I don't think..."

"Darma," the rude mastiff cut me off again, "I... I wanna ask you:"

Oh, Heavens! At that moment I felt the time stopped, my world was turning pink and disgustingly cheesy, I could even imagine some soft jazz music, and suddenly, I felt a lot of stomachs in my butterfly, in the absence of a better way of describes it. Then, something touched my paw and took me back to reality, I felt Bodi's paws on mine again. For Freddy Mercury's mustache! He was about to tell me, he was about to declare his love to me!

"... will you…"

I couldn't believe it, he was actually doing it! I just looked at him moved and eager to hear his words. I even waved my tail like a silly schoolgirl! But I was infinitely worried because every second was harder to say him no.

"... do me.."

Stop delaying it and just tell me now! End with this!

"... the honor…"

Hurry up already!

"...of being…"

Yes, yes, yes, ok, you win, yes, yes, YES!

"... my best friend?"

So it was. As ridiculous and foolish as only Bodi could be, he gave me the most romantic and cheesy scene I have ever experienced in my life, staring into my eyes, holding my paws and making his trademark stupid smile.

"Oh Bodi... Yes, yes... yes! Wait a second... W-What did you just say?"

Time ran its course again and the soft Jazz music, dim lights, and little hearts in the air disappeared from that love declaration or a sorry excuse for a love declaration in an instant.

"I said: Will you do me the honor of being my best friend?" repeated that imbecile, just like that.

"Your... your... your... your...? Your best friend?!"

THIS WHOLE MESS WAS JUST A STUPID BEST FRIEND DECLARATION?! BBBBBBOOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!

"Yes! That's it, my best friend," he said excitedly. "I wasn't sure to tell you, because I didn't know if you have this custom in the city, or if you didn't feel the same way I did, but hey, it's done," he sighed, relieved, "What do you say Darma?" he asked with an idiotic smile, "Darma? Darma?"

"Bodi…" I gritted my fangs.

What the hell was wrong with him!? He intrigued me with his mystery and nonsense, went to his village just to asked for advice, talked with my crazy mother, wore that stupid tuxedo, bought flowers and did this whole romantic crap. And for what? He just friendzoned me!? Was it a cruel joke? Was he toying with? Did he find comical to delude a girl, to me? I never expected anything as despicable as that, not from you Bodi!

"Errr... Darma, is something wrong...? Did I say something wrong...? Ah!"

"BODI... YOU... YOU IDIOT!"

"Darma! Wait, wait a second, please calm down...! Argh!"

Blinded by the anger and shame he made me feel, I didn't think twice, grabbed my bass by the neck with both paws and tried to hit Bodi with it, but the bastard dodged it. I wanted to kill him!

"You're a fool, fool, fool, fool, Bodi! Ah! Ah! Take that!"

"Darma! Wait" he avoided each of my fast blows, "Please, calm down! What did I say? W-what did I do to make you so upset?"

I tried to knock him out with my bass unsuccessfully, but the son of a bitch managed to avoid each one of my attacks, if I wouldn't have been so mad and wanting to kill him, I would have recognized his incredible reflexes, but it didn't be enough to make me stop with the sole idea of revenge my wounded heart with a physical vengeance.

"Don't be a smartass! Ah! Ah! How dare you...? Ah! To play with? Ah! My feelings!?" I keep trying to beat him with the hardest part of my bass, "Don't move!"

In that moment, the mastiff stopped and stood, I took advantage of his strange behavior to giving him a stronger blow in his hollow head; I pounded my instrument, but before it could touch him, he caught my bass with both paws.

"Darma.."

"Let it go!" I struggle trying regained control over my makeshift weapon, "Let go of my bass so I can hit you with it!"

"Please Darma, calm down, you're going to crash it!"

"Yes, but in your head, you bastard!"

"Darma!"

The mastiff shouted at me and brought his face closer to mine, all my rage and fury decreased when I sensed Bodi's presence, but instead of looking at me with anger or annoyance, his eyes showed a pleading attitude.

"Please, chill out. You once told me this bass meant a lot to you, I don't think you really want to hit me and risk crashing it. I dunno what I did wrong or what I did to offend you if you don't tell me... but whatever it was, I'm sorry. But tell me what it was exactly so I can apologize properly to you."

I was still agitated and breathing rapidly by the effort and wrath running through my veins, but his words and face showed me nothing but the truth, making me think straight. What was I doing? Why did I act so angry and impulsively? The idiot was right, I almost destroyed something so important to me!: My bass. Oh, and of course, I almost hurt this dumb doggie. I let out a big heavy sigh and stopped fighting back.

"Let go my bass, please Bodi." I requested him more calmly.

"Alright." he obeyed quickly.

"Thank you."

I straightened my instrument and hung it on my shoulder to show I wasn't going to attack him again with it.

"I'm sorry Darma, I don't know what I did wrong, I just wanted to ask you to be my best friend and…"

"Ush!" I bellowed annoyed, "Really Bodi? Are you serious? What kind of joke...?"

"But it's truth Darma!"

"What do you mean!? All this time you were quiet, evasive and asking for advice to half the city! Was it just to ask me to be your best friend?"

"Yes!"

"What the f...? Oh heavens" I sat on the park bench, confused, "Bodi, I don't, I don't get it. Why so much mystery and drama for something as simple as being your best friend?"

"Hey, it's not that simple," he sat down next to me, "in my village, it's a special event when we…"

Something clicked in my mind.

"Just one second... In your village?"

"Yes, in my village, why...?"

"In your village you always do these kinds of things?"

"Well yes, in Snow Mountain, when you have a friend you like a lot and it's very, very special for you, you make a declaration to become his or her best friend, it's a very special and solemn tradition everyone does in my village."

At that time, I didn't know how I could still think clearly. I smacked my forehead to check it.

"Bodi…"

"What happens? Did all of you also do this in the city, didn't you? Or do you have another name for...?"

"No Bodi, we don't do that here…"

"Wait, what?"

"Yes, as you hear it, Bodi, I think that kind of traditions only exists in your village."

"Don't you have the concept of best friends here? Do you just call yourselves friends and no more?"

"Of course we have it, but we don't do a party for it, at least in this city, we didn't do that kind of celebration. Did you really have to do a big deal just to tell me that? Why didn't you just ask me?"

"I... oh, Heavens, I feel like a fool…"

"Ah... believe me, I feel even more stupid than you…"

"The thing is... It's something very special in my village, I wanted it would be something very special between you and me, Darma. I really like you a lot."

Why? Why did I still feel weird talking about it?

"Wait, did you do all this just for me?"

"Yes, everything I told you is true, did you think I was joking?"

"No, no, no... of course not... I even believed it very well, maybe... too much, but then, why did you take it so far?"

"I thought in the city, the best friend declaration could be different, so I asked Mr. Scattergood, when I told him about I wanted to be more than your friend Darma, he started telling odd stuff about how to talk to girls and…"

"Hey, hey, wait a second, did you tell that to Angus? Did you tell him you wanted to be more than my friend!?"

"Yeah, I did, because being more than a friend means being a best friend, right?"

"BODI, YOU STUPID DUMBASS!" I yelled him in the ear, "That doesn't mean more than a friend, at least not in the city!"

"What? What do you say, then what does it mean?"

I smacked my face off. It was incredible. This guy who already saw kitty porn couldn't be so naive. Or innocent. Or stupid.

"Bodi, being more than a friend here means G-I-R-L-F-R-I-E-N-D," I spelled angrily, "Basically you asked Angus help for getting a girlfriend, me apparently"

"What, what, what, WHAT?"

I didn't know why, but Bodi's scared face hurt me a bit.

"Oh, and I thought I was the one overdid things."

"Does it really mean that? Oh, furballs!"

"Uh-huh." I said.

"I didn't want that... I mean, Mr. Scattergood thought that you and me...?"

"Oh yeah." I nodded a little amused that time.

"I mean, I and you? He thought I wanted you to be my girlfriend!?"

"Bingo!" I nodded mockingly, "And I think he wasn't the only one you asked for advice, aren't you?"

"No, I asked Germur, a guy from the noodles, Snow Mountain's bus driver, Carl, my dad, Fleetwood, the city's bus driver... And your mom too!"

Seriously, I wasn't joking when I said Bodi told half the city about us.

"Yes, it seems so. Now, everyone thinks you wanted me as…"

"I even told you too!"

"Hey, don't mention it…" I muttered a bit embarrassed.

"That's why you got mad at me and you almost blow my head off!"

"Hey, don't overdo it, it wasn't a big deal! And you deserved that for toying with my feelings!"

"Oh Darma... I... I... I'm so, so sorry."

Suddenly, I saw Bodi completely dejected, for the first time, since what happened with Angus on the radio interview, I saw him very disheartened. So much so that my desires to humiliate him more were replaced by a little pity.

"I am a fool…"

"Bodi…" I patted on his shoulder.

"I was supposed to be your best friend but look what I did! I told everyone a lie and the worst, I hurt you."

"Hey, Bodi, let it go, we've already cleared up everything, don't…"

"I'm a big fool, I can't even call myself your friend…"

"Bodi!" I took him with both paws, "Hey, listen to me. It was just a misunderstanding, okay? Yes, it was uncomfortable and embarrassing, but it wasn't your... well, it wasn't your fault at all, okay? It's just that, a misunderstanding and…"

"Surely you must hate me…"

"Hey, no, to hate is a very strong word, I wouldn't say…"

"Of course you hate me! It must have been something awful what I told you that you wanted to break your precious bass on me!" he sobbed completely frightened.

Bodi was terrified, why did his emotions change so fast? And why did I go from love to anger, then to compassion, and in that moment, to guilt in such a short time?

"I was an idiot! I'm just a...!"

"Bodi!"

I kissed him. On his cheek, of course. Why? I dunno. I just wanted to calm him or... I really didn't know, something told me it was the right place and time for it. And it worked very well.

"Darma…"

"I don't hate you," I said him softly, "Bodi, I was a bit angry with you because I found out about the whole situation in a rude way... Ah, okay," I sighed in annoyance, "I may want to rip your head off, yes, but I don't hate Bodi; misunderstandings happen all the time and sometimes even good friends fight each others, but nothing else happens with their friendship... besides, do you remember all the nice things you told me before? What about your declaration? Those were your own words, right?

"Yeah... well, I…"

"It wasn't someone else's advice, wasn't it? Is that what you think of me?"

"Yes, positive."

"Then, let's do this. Could you...? Could you repeat your declaration one more time for me?"

"What!?" he exclaimed, surprised.

"Please, could you?"

Bodi smiled at me, he took both of my paws as he stood up while I keep sitting on the bench.

"Darma, I... Furballs! I don't remember at all…"

"Don't repeat it exactly, you silly," I scolded and laughed at the same time, "just tell me what you feel, be yourself."

"Okay, here I go." he took a deep breath and began: "Darma, although we've met a short time ago, it was enough to know you are a spectacular girl, maybe I don't know many mammals in the city or many animals in the world, but I think you are unique, funny, amusing, sometimes grumpy…"

"Hey! You didn't say that the last time!"

"Heh, heh, I'm sorry, but not for that you're less amazing, quite the contrary, I admire your decided character, and I enjoy spending time with you. I think you are a great friend who has helped me and made me spend incredible moments here, in the city and my new home. So today, I would like to take an important step to our friendship, I'd like to know: Do you wanna be my best friend?"

Bodi looked at me with expectant eyes, his words were different, perhaps they didn't give me the same feeling of panic or sweetness they transmit me the first time, but I could feel his emotions and thoughts for me were authentics and made me feel needed and loved, at least as his friend, no, his best friend and that was enough for me. I stood up without letting go of his paws and I looked at him in the eyes now confident and without any doubts.

"Yes Bodi, I accept, I would love to be your gi... ahem, not only your friend but your best friend."

"Darma…"

"Bodi…"

I set free from his paws and gave him a big, tight hug, feeling not only a release and an incredible peace but also the warmth of a boy who loves you purely and nobly. We stayed like this for a few seconds until I freed from his grip with a heavy heart.

"Well." he said happily and jovially as only he could be, "What are you wanting to do now, new best friend?"

"First, new best friend, promise me 'new best friend' is definitely out. Keep calling Darma, okay?"

"Okie Dokie Darma."

"Second, it's late and I'm hungry. Why don't we go out to eat?"

"Mr. Wu's noodles?"

"You read my mind but... Darn it! I forgot my wallet at home, I think…"

"Don't worry!" Bodi pulled out some bills from his pocket, "Your mom gave me a lot of money."

"Wait, what?" I took all the bills my crazy mother gave him. I didn't remember she had given me so much money in my life, not even on my birthday, "Why did she give you all this?"

"Besides the flowers, she gave me money to go to the movies, dine, have some ice creams and... I don't remember the last thing she said, it was something about sleeping together somewhere…" Bodi put a paw on his chin, thoughtful, "... I can't remember at all but she said before anything, I'd have to buy something at the pharmacy... What did she tell me?" he snapped his fingers, "Oh, gotcha! I think she said getting some rub…"

"Forget it Bodi!" I laughed nervously hiding my anger, "Gosh, I gonna kill my mom when I get home." I took all the bills from Bodi's paw, "I think this will be enough to pay for the food, and maybe some ice cream, do you think it's OK?"

"Of course Darma!"

"Then let's go"

We walked along to the noodle stand, but I remembered something.

"Go ahead, I'll catch up with you."

"Okay."

I ran back to the bench to check if I haven't forgotten anything, and over it, I saw the little bouquet Bodi gave me. I watched and I thought for a minute; although this whole declaration mess was nothing but a dumb misunderstanding, I must admit it was something strange and curious, made me see everyone, especially Bodi, in a new light. I felt calm and peaceful because my friendship with the mastiff remained almost unchanged, but if I'm really honest with myself, my heart beat very differently with the first Bodi's declaration. Despite my fears and insecurities, or my crazy imagination, it was something nice I've never felt this before. I'm afraid in the rare case his declaration really would have been becoming more than his friend... I would have said yes.

Oh well, what can I do about it? Time will tell. But for now, my only worries are the music, my friends and have a good time with Bodi, the boy who wanted to be more than my friend.

I took two flowers from the bunch and ran to where Bodi was, leaving behind the small bouquet.
