*Maxim had invited an old friend for a visit- James Norrington. He'd sent the letter to him as soon as he'd heard that he was engaged to be married. James was one of his oldest, closest friends, and he was extremely happy for him.* "I'm so glad you could make it, my friend. It's been far too long," *Maxim said to Norrington, his arm around Micaela's shoulders.He smiles broadly at Megan and Pina, though he wondered at the girl's veil.* "I'd like you to meet my wife, Micaela."

*Micaela grinned.*
"You goof, Megan and I have been friends since I first put Les Mis on." *She teased him.* "I watched Pina as a baby while Megan was in rehearsal."
*She extended a hand to James.* "It's lovely to meet you."

James took Micaela's hand and gave it a small kiss "It's quite a pleasure to meet you."

"And MEGAN!" *She said, hugging her.* "I'm so sorry I haven't been writing as often lately.*

*Pina hung back a bit, wary of meeting these strangers. She hadn't really wanted to go in the first place, honestly. Mrs. de Winter did seem a tiny bit familiar, but that hardly helped. She stood behind her mother, waiting to be introduced.*
*Maxim smiled.* "Ah, I didn't know you had met. What a small world indeed," *he said, addressing both Micaela and Megan.*

"Yes. I was in one of her shows."

*Micaela disentangled herself and went back to leaning against Maxim. Her clothes weren't too loose, and the tiny hint of baby was obvious as she wrapped one arm around his middle. She smiled happily.*
"Pina? I know you probably don't remember me... I'm Micaela."

*Maxim smiled down at the strangely quiet girl, and kept an arm around Micaela, mostly out of habit.*
*Pina nodded at Micaela, knowing that her facial expression couldn't be seen.*
"It's very nice to meet you again," *she said politely.*

*Micaela smiled at her kindly, turning to say something or other to Megan.*

"Pina, could you wait here with James for just a moment?"

*Pina nodded.*
"Yes, Mama."

*Micaela wondered what was up.*

Megan quickly moved Maxim and Micaela into the next room.
"Micaela, you know this, but you..."
She looked at Maxim, trying to figure out how to address him, and gave up.
"Proserpina has something of a facial... condition."

*Maxim nodded. So that explained the veil...*
"I see. Is there a problem?"

"James isn't her father."
