Should a noun complement clause closely follow its preceding noun?

I came across this sentence in a renowned dictionary.

"The thought crosses my mind that she might be taking drugs"

I wonder if the noun complement clause above (i.e. that she might be taking drugs) is completing the noun

A) My 'mind', which immediately precedes the clause or
B) The 'thought', which is removed from the noun complement clause

To me, B seems more correct, we can rephrase the sentence like this,

The thought that she might be taking drugs crosses my mind

Can I analyse in this way or should a noun complement clause only complete its immediately preceding noun?

Thanks in advance
