Meeting the parents for the first time always calls for the utmost formality.
When River went to Romina’s home for dinner—their formal introduction—he brought gifts for everyone. His thoughtfulness won praise from her family, relatives, and friends.
Now, back at Wildridge Manor, Serenity led River to the main seat.
With Romina beside him, River approached the old lady.
“Grandma,” he said warmly, “this is Romina—my girlfriend. I’ve brought her to meet you.”
The old lady’s face lit up with a kind smile. “Romina, I’m so happy to finally meet you. Ever since Seren mentioned you, I’ve been looking forward to this.”
Romina returned the smile. “Grandma, I’ve been so busy with work. I’m sorry I haven’t been able to visit sooner.”
