Maria smiled pleasantly "It's wonderful to meet you" she said her tone polite and soft. Margret nodded and smiled as she ushered the two inside to George. The smell and looks of the home instantly reminded her of home how she missed it now but in the same way she was happy to be rid of such a place. Soon George was in view in the library of his home a nose in a book. He looked up at there nearing footsteps.  A bright flash of an American smile crossed his face along with his accent. "Ah there you are! I wondered when you would bring your Bride. Did you switch out at the last minute? he asked teasingly as he looked over Maria. Who in turn just smiled coyly and offered her hand to him "It is pleasant to met you George, Xhao has told me of you" she said with a smile.
