"Oh!" Maria said, then smiled. "Hi! Yeah. I'm Liz's best friend, actually. From home, anyways."

Maria extended her hand. She knew adults like this form of introduction.

"Nice to meet you." She said. "Oh! Jane. Jane. Right. Liz mentioned you."

Liz let Maria read her journal so she knew how Liz felt about Jane and her memories.

"All good things, I promise." Maria added with a laugh.
