*Mariya* "Hey, hero! How are you?" I smiled, looking at Nic on a video call. Nic used to call me daily, and we talked a lot. I missed him. He was such a sweet kid, and whoever met him became his friend. Today I was very sad. But his cute smile and sweet face took all my tiredness and sadness away in a heartbeat. "Hey, Riya! I am good. You know, today I went to meet Noah," he told me excitedly. "Really?! That's nice! So you had fun with your best friend?!" I teased, smiling softly. "Yes, Riya! We had a lot of fun, and I gave him the gifts you had given me to give him," he informed me. "Did he like them?" I was curious to know. "Yes, Riya. He was so happy and told me to thank you on his behalf," he chimed. "Aww, he is a sweet boy," I replied. Noah was a very nice and adorable kid
