She heard the words "come in," and straightened herself up thinking his voice didn't sound agitated, which gave her a pinch of relief. She glanced to left at the woman who had also knocked after her and nodded as if she was an accomplice in a secret mission and that they could speak paragraphs between each other through slick glances. With one deep breath, Gretta twisted the door knob and entered the threshold keeping the door ajar for the woman behind her. Hoping his expression didn't completely alter at her arrival, maybe if he saw the woman behind her he'd be forced to uphold his cheerful attitude.

"Congratulations Mr.Rider," she spoke midway into the room, graciously glancing at the decor and furniture filling the space. "Quite lovely," she complimented keeping her attitude in check and making her way closer to where he was seated. Although her exterior was displaying a cordial mannered woman, her insides were bubbling with anticipation. Deciding not speak much being afraid of talking and allowing her thoughts to fumble out of her brain, she instead marveled the room smiling, just as she had practiced before hand.
