As my father spoke of Sir Reynold, a distinguished figure approached us from across the hall, his presence commanding attention. His posture was regal, and his eyes held a hint of warmth as he drew nearer, although he was an old man. He looked kind of young for his age.

“Ariel, this is Sir Reynold,” my father said, turning to me with a proud smile. “Sir Reynold, may I introduce you to my daughter, Ariel?”

Sir Reynold extended his hand towards me, his gaze unwavering as our eyes met. “It’s a pleasure to finally meet you, Ariel,” he said in a deep, resonant voice. “Your father has spoken very highly of you.”

I offered him a warm smile, feeling a sense of respect and admiration for this esteemed gentleman. “The pleasure is mine, Sir Reynold,” I replied, shaking his hand firmly. “Thank you for your kind words.”

Sir Reynold nodded graciously, his eyes crinkling with a hint of amusement. “I must say, your beauty truly does justice to your father’s praise,” he remarked, his tone sincere.

I blushed at the compliment. “Thank you, sir.”

“No problem. I just hope you’re enjoying yourself at the party.”

“Yes, yes, I am.”

“I would really like it if you met my grandson. But apparently, he’s not here yet.”

“No problem; it’s okay. He’s going to show up, right?”

“Of course, but it’s becoming too late.”
