She walked into a large room where the towering ceilings and elegant decor made it feel more like a showpiece mansion than a home where people lived. To her left, there was a small cosy room with wide south-facing windows. Four people were seated around a large table - three women and one man. Lois entered the room and walked up to the man. "Mr O'Brien?" she asked.
He smiled with warm recognition. "Sit down," he said. "How lovely of you to visit me."
Lois sat next to him. "How are you, Mr O'Brien?"
He chuckled delightedly. "Call me 'Reuben'," he said. "You'll make me feel old if you call me 'Mr O'Brien'."
Thanks!
Corrina.
