Veronica instantly went into 'Oh no you don't' mode, but just as quickly forced herself to nod and just be grateful someone she knew was here and kind enough to help her ease into this all the way Veronica eased in to anything best: completely ignoring the situation. "Why am I not surprised? Houses, pah."
She straightened her legs and pushed herself up from the sidewalk to step over closer. Found herself standing face to face with him wondering, oh God, oh man what do I do now? Emotional little reunion? Apology? Veronica swallowed past a lump in her throat and after carefully weighing her options mentally, she stepped forward to timidly slide her arms around his waist, gave him a brief, loose little hug. "Good to see you. Thanks um, you know, for coming."
