While it was nice to see her friend after so long without her, she didn’t know under what circumstances she was seeing her. Still, Pearl’s expression said it all, the surprise all there. And when her touch plucked her hair behind her ear, a soft smile spread across her lips. “Maria.” She exhaled in a short breath of wonder. “It sure has been a long while. My dad and I just got here about a month or two ago.”
“Really?” That was good to know. She didn’t think that Pearl would actually run away from her father, but still. Now she knew when to be careful. “Beautiful, how’s it been? Anyone I should be jealous about?”
