Valeria was surprised at Andrea's reaction at first. She had been expecting a bit of a more dramatic greeting, perhaps a slap in the face or something equally harsh. It was also a shock to her that she didn't seem to flinch at her coldness or her pale skin. In her friend's defense however, it was quite dark outside. Everything still looked the same, her fiery red hair, her deep brown eyes still filled with passion. 

"May I come in?" she said hopefully. She wanted to tell her everything that had happened to her in the last few years.
