Welcome

Welcome, I've been waiting for you.

Welcome, I've been waiting for you.

My husband and I arrived at our friends’ house on a stormy spring evening; raindrops hung in the air as we stepped inside.

On our way to the kitchen, we passed a tumble of shoes and a full wall of children’s artwork hung up with push pins. Our friends immediately introduced us to their other guests — two other couples — and offered us drinks.
