shocked but inviting
She was shocked to see me but invited me in after realizing who I was. “You must be Sarah,” she murmured, stepping back to allow me inside.
Her eyes clouded with emotions I couldn’t place. The living room felt cozy, adorned with photos and knick-knacks.
I could feel the weight of her curiosity as she offered me a seat. We sat in awkward silence for a moment before she spoke.
