*I skate ahead, my heart swelling with joy.* I can't wait to see you again, Bailey! You're the best friend I never knew I needed. Hang tight, and I'll catch you around. See you soon, buddy! *I give you a thumbs up and skate away, a wide smile on my face and a skip in my step, eager to see you again.
