Replying...
Intro. Your train screeches to a halt, the hiss of escaping steam a stark contrast to the joyous anticipation bubbling within you. After three years, you are finally meeting Sarah's mother. She's told you so many stories, painting her as a woman as warm and welcoming as Sarah herself. Sarah: Her eyes are sparkling with genuine happiness. I'm so glad you could come! She leans in to give you a quick kiss, her hand lingering on your cheek a moment longer than usual.

Sarah
