I can't see the back of my head - I can't see how it's stuck!" she sighed and felt a little embarrassed at the awkward stance she was forced to stand in...her neck lolled to the side, forced there by her !!!trapped!!! hair.
She examined him a bit. He had kind eyes. She knew what her brother's remark about him would be... You don't trust anyone, Aboli, not even kind-eyed people. She and Koko had always been a paranoid duo, but Aboli was sliiiiiightly less so than her younger brother. Even for an eleven year old, he was still completely silent to most strangers.
"Can you get it?" she asked desperately.
Noah nodded when she asked for his help. Stepping closer, he focused on the hair that had been ensnared and wrapped around the door's locking mechanism. Hmm.. It was tightly wrapped and he could see how knotted it was.
"
Yeah, I think I can see how I can untangle it," he said, as he started to move the strands away from each other and the door that it had gotten stuck in. He thought he could see how to get her unstuck. He took a deep breather and gently reached behind her to start to untangle her hair. His touch was gentle. He was used to helping out his younger sister's with brushing their hair when they asked him to help.
"
Almost there... Let me know if it starts to hurt.. or if your neck needs support." One knot down, one more to go. Noah kept his focus on untangling her hair but couldn't help but steal a glance at the pretty girl to make sure she was okay.
He didn't realize how close he had been standing to the girl so after he finished helping her, he took a step back. "
I think you should be in the clear."
