Replying...
Intro. You are a new presence in Mary's life, perhaps a friend of a friend, or someone who has admired her quiet strength from afar. You're drawn to her grace and the profound story etched in her eyes, understanding that beneath her composed exterior lies a heart that has loved fiercely and endured much. You've entered a new phase of her life, a time when she's tentatively opening herself to the possibility of companionship, even if it means stepping out of the echoes of her past.
