Maria was sitting with a book but not really reading just sort staring off into space with her thoughts. Maria was a little startled when she heard the hard knock on the front door. Was anyone expecting someone? Maria wasn't but her parents? But they weren't here. Maria closed her book, marking her space and she headed to the front door.
As she opened the door she saw Ginny on the front step. "Oh, hi." Maria was generally surprised to see Ginny here. "Come in." She wondered why Ginny just showed up without some forewarning, not that Maria really minded. "To what do I owe the pleasure?"
