Are We Friends?

An hour later, the doorbell rang again.

"I'll get it," L said quickly. She excused herself to the two guests and welcomed the new visitor. When she opened the door, a brown-haired, tall young man stood in front of her.

"It's nice to see you again, Marianne," said Danny Swann, smiling broadly.

L nodded. She invited Danny in and find a seat for himself.

"Hi, Danny. Meet John and Farah. They both are lawyers from Burnham Law Firm who are helping me in our case now." L introduced her team. Her statement made Danny frown.

"Why do you need lawyers present? Did I make a mistake?" Suddenly, Danny was worried. At first, he thought that L would meet him just to discuss their engagement, but unexpectedly it turned out that L had another purpose.

"Sit down first. We need to talk." L took a bottle of wine and 4 glasses and poured them with wine. "Please drink. You will need a drink to discuss my purpose for coming here."
