The meeting was very successful even though most comments were kept to themselves. Maxim was also happy seeing how his friends were being accommodating of Arianna.
It wasn't that he needed approval of them, he just wanted them to know that he was no longer alone and he has an angel who was by his side whom he loves and was going to spend the rest of his life with.
Arianna enjoyed the meeting a lot. Kyle especially was more of a comedian, he joked a lot and made her feel comfortable. She heard many stories of Maxim when she was still a youth.
Some of them were embarrassing, some very touching, Arianna laughed so hard that tears were streaming down her cheeks. Seeing her so happy and being carefree, Maxim was at ease.
He gave his friends that grateful look as he didn't want to be torn between his woman and friends for no particular reason. After the meeting, Arianna returned home with Maxim.
