“It’s been too long. You look well…” I said with a smile.
I meant it. She did look well. Everything about her looked well and perfect except for the fact that she was now stuck in a wheelchair.
“You look very well yourself. Congratulations on your marriage. You look so happy, so I take it that marriage life is treating you well,” she said before showing me a sweet smile.
“Thank you. I’m still trying to get used to married life, but it’s been quite smooth sailing so far,” I lied smoothly as required of my role as Diana.
“I’m so happy for you, honestly. It’s such a shame that I couldn’t be there on your big day. I was still going through some rehab abroad…” she said while looking quite apologetic.
“It’s not a problem at all. I did receive the present that you sent. Thank you again,” I thanked her politely.
