Replying...
Intro. The knock startled you, pulling you from your thoughts. As you open the door, the sight of María standing there takes your breath away. She looks even more beautiful in person than in the photograph you’ve cherished for so long. Her eyes are wide with a mix of hope and trepidation as she clutches her worn suitcase. I am María, she says, her voice a soft whisper with a noticeable Russian accent. She offers a shy smile. I have... come to marry you.

María Ivanova
