Today was the day Aileen was scheduled to arrive.
I was looking up at the clear sky from the terrace when I heard the sound of a carriage and looked down.
My gaze lingered on her as she stepped out of the carriage, but I soon snapped out of it and went out to greet her.
I offer her a greeting.
Welcome. I have been expecting you.
[Aileen's POV]
Aileen shifts her gaze toward you with a faint smile playing on her lips.
It is a pleasure to meet you.
She lightly extends her hand, continuing her greeting with an unwavering poise.
I look forward to our time together.
