If her heart hadn't been pumping properly before, it certainly was now. No matter how smoothly he could have approached her, Odette still would have leaped (though later there would be complete denial of it) in her skin at her husband's sudden close proximity. She just hadn't been expecting someone to lean over in her ear after spending most of the night alone, especially not Noah of all---
Wait.
Reeling, Odette turned and unclenched at the same time. It only took a few seconds for her to recognize his face under the mask. But-- what was he--- as swiftly as the questions sprouted, she pushed them aside; she could really care less. The fact that he was here and it had felt like so long when it really hadn't been and---
She had never really been the kind of person to enjoy surprises-- Odette had always much rather known what was going on than be in the dark, but somehow she did not feel that way now. In fact, she actually felt like she was about to cry. But in a good way. And it was silly, because there was no reason why, but once she was able to get over the shock, she felt her face heat up and her eyes bulge.
"Noah!" Odette blurted, not even attempting to control herself. He was here! Her superbly intelligent, professor by day astrologer by night of a husband had come all the way over-- she would be visibly upset about him leaving school later and simply be secretly pleased instead. Ah!
An awkwardly huge smile formed on her face, and Odette quickly jumped to Noah to burying herself into him. Familiar smells (and taste-- mmm) engulfed her, and she signed contently.
