Verity was trying not to feel nervous, but it wasn't exactly the easiest thing to pull off. She'd been thinking about him all week, trying to ignore him, even that letter that she'd burned... and now, here he was. Right in front of her. Without Healer Goldstien or Ginger to buffer them.
"Hm? Oh! Oh, thank you," well that made a little more sense as to why he was here... "Yes, it was just finished last week... I hope the noise from the building wasn't too bad?" she asked him. "I'm sorry, it's not really, decorated very much..." She never thought she'd be more pleased to have decorative moulding... but she knew George didn't really care about that sort of thing anyway.
