Victoria rose at the sight of her dear friend. "Oh Constance, I do hope you don't mind that I am late. The staff was slow back home and then the snow... Well, at least I am here now. " Victoria kissed Constance back on her cheek. "The place looks lovely as always. I trust your sons are back? How nice it is to have everyone back here for the holiday." Victoria was always alone during these times. She was blessed to have such a dear friend that always welcomed her to not make her feel so alone.<br/><br/>
