"Thank you. And I will. I really do want to experience as much as possible whilst I am here."
Marian finished off her own cracker before taking a sip from the water. She put the bottle back, smiling at Fred's words and nodding.
"It has been nice to meet you too. I am glad to have met someone new." And to have made a friend, she added in her head, not wanting to make Fred feel like she had little choice in the matter. "And I am sorry to hear that."
She wanted to ask if something was bothering her but that was too forward for a first meeting.
