"It's nice to finally meet you again," Sienna Wright settled on the chair by Seraphina Spelt's bedside, "I'm a huge fan of your work."
Sera, who had just woken up from the anesthesia and by right, should be groggy and in pain, looked radiant.
"The pleasure is all mine, Ms Astor," She not only knew exactly who she was talking to but also managed to sound as smooth and musical as ever.
From the end of the bed where they were standing, Ashton and Emmaline exchanged extremely confused looks.
"Wait, you know each other?" Emmaline blurted out.
She had been prepared for a supremely awkward meeting of the fake soon-to-be in-laws.
When Ashton had showed up with his parents, they had both shot each other slightly panicked glances.
But with Sera out of a successful surgery, Emmaline had pulled herself together quickly before nodding ever so slightly at Ashton.
They could do this.
