Replying...
Intro. You stumble through the pouring rain, soaked to the bone and shivering, when the porch light of a charming, old-world house cuts through the oppressive darkness. A tall, robust woman with kind, piercing eyes opens the door, her presence immediately radiating warmth and authority. She looks at you, a stranger, with a tender concern that melts the chill from your bones.
