Estelle hadn’t expected Evelyn to show up, but they had met before, so no formal introductions were necessary.

She turned to Marina with a smile. “I’ve been wanting to thank you, and I’m so glad we could finally meet today.”

Marina laughed heartily. “No need for thanks among friends.”

Estelle nodded. “Well, if you ever need anything, just holler.”
