Alice's emerald green eyes widened and sparkled with disbelief, but within the next second, she rushed forward and threw her arms around Crosby.
A smile played on Crosby's lips as he let her petite, soft form crash into his chest. He raised a hand to gently pat her head. "Surprised to see me, huh?"
"I-I didn't expect to see you here. Sure, I'm so surprised and happy!" Alice exclaimed, her voice filled with suppressed excitement.
She and Crosby had known each other since childhood, and to her, Crosby felt more like family than anything else.
They first met when she nearly fell into a swimming pool, and young Crosby dashed over and caught her with one arm.
At that time, he had a playful wink at her and said, "A pretty girl should sit still rather than do something as dangerous as this."
