The new neighbours come to meet Anne and Naomi.
---------------------------
The doorbell rang and Anne went to get the door, there stood a few unfamiliar faces.
"Hello?"
"Hi we are your new neighbours! We wanted to say hi and bring in some dishes for a meal, if you'd have us?" The one woman speaks, with a smile on her face.
"Sure! It's so great to meet the new neighbours, come on it!" Anne smiles awkwardly, opening the door.
The 4 people standing on the porch enter the home and bring their dishes to the kitchen.
"I'm Anne, it's so nice to meet all of you. I will be right back, make yourselves comfortable." She waves, going into the other room.
Everybody takes a seat either at the table or on the couch, waiting for her return.
Anne comes out of the room with Naomi, "this is my daughter Naomi." She says warmly, putting her daughter down.
"Hello there sweetie. I'm Zoe." The one woman said.
"Hi." Naomi said giggling shyly.
"It's lovely to meet you Anne and Naomi, I'm J Huntington The Third." The one gentleman said, reaching out his hand to Anne.
"Lovely to meet you." She said, shaking his hand.
She turned to the other two people and they introduced themselves, she didn't quite catch the man's name but the woman was so friendly, introducing herself.
"What a lovely home you have Anne, I'm Malia it's fantastic to meet you."
"You as well." She smiles, "would anybody like a drink, some juice or some tea perhaps?"
"Sure tea would be lovely." Malia says.
Anne goes to put the kettle on and gets the serving plates out.
Each person plates up some food for themselves and Anne grabs a plate for Naomi.
Naomi decides to take the plate of food into her room and sit on the floor. She's a bit uncomfortable around new people Anne guesses, poor girl.
After tea and dinner they all sit around to chat and watch TV, except J and Zoe they have seemed to mosey off. Anne sees them go into her bedroom, she's uncomfortable but says nothing, she doesn't know how she would even confront them in front of guests.
