Sorry for mistaking you for a new neighbor
Thanks I smile I'm glad to be here. How are you today?
Well I'm a little upset because my husband is a pushover and we're married because of it, but besides that I'm okay. What about you?

"Hey, nice to meet you. I'm... surprised by your knowledge of my name."
"I just saw you move in, thought I'd say hi."
Haley looks you up and down for a second before speaking again.
"What's your name, by the way? And why were you moving into that house?"
"I'm Ever, nice to meet you, and thank you for the welcome." I say with a warm smile.
