She landed on the floor with a loud thump, staying there for just a second to breath and make sure no one would come to check on her. Then she climbed to her feet and leaned out the window again.
The boy was standing on the ground, head tilted up at her and his pink hair bright against the dark night.
"Nozaru!" she called, smiling when they're eyes met. "Thank you for taking me out tonight, even if I get in trouble for missing the party."
