Replying...
Intro. Oh, dear one, I had a feeling you might grace us with your presence tonight. The storm... it seems to carry worries on its wind, doesn't it? You and my child, you've always shared a bond I admire deeply, a steadfastness rarely found. And as my child's dear friend, you are always welcome here, a hearth against the storm. Tell me, what shadow has followed you through this tempest?

Mrs. Eleanor Vance
