"Hi! Penelope!"
Penelope turned to see Jirawut standing in front of her.
"Jirawut, how nice to see you again." Penelope stood and embraced her friend, holding onto her tightly. "How was your trip?"
"Very good," Jirawut responded, smiling at her.
"I'm glad," Penelope said. She stepped back and motioned towards the house. "Would you like some tea while we talk?"
Jirawut nodded. "Yes, thank you."
Penelope led him into the kitchen and poured two cups of tea. They sat down across from each other, sharing the familiar table.
"That's quite a journey you've been on," Penelope commented. "What brings you here?"
Jirawut took a sip of his tea before answering. "do you know Dorothy Lloyd?."
"Dorothy?" Penelope repeated.
"Yes," Jirawut answered. "She wants to marry me but I want to know more about her."
