What Happened?

"It is nice seeing you all grown up Denali. You have completely exceeded my expectations." Anne said as she looked at Denali with the same warm and cheerful smile.

Denali blinked her eyes as she looked at Anne. She was not sure on how she was supposed to reply this time. It was not just due to the familiarity that she could feel with this lady, but, the way that Anne was addressing her was like the two of them were familiar with each other.

To say the truth, she had never expected that Jack's mother was going to address her in such a way. Additionally, this was actually the first time that they were meeting each other, so, why was it that she already knew her name? Did they meet before? Could that be the reason why she could feel that she was familiar with this lady in front of her?
