In the kitchen, Hope was getting to know Daniel’s mother. She found it interesting that Maria was also a foreign visitor, and she took an immediate liking to the woman. In some way, she reminded her of her Aunt Yue, who was similarly professional about being a good host, since she enjoyed having visitors to talk to and to liven the place up.

“Where are you from?” Chloe asked as they sat around the dining table.

“Originally, Shenzhen,” Hope said simply. Maria gave a startled little gasp and Nathan paled, looking away, while Chloe drooped her head and backed away nervously. “It’s all right,” Hope said to her. “All my memories of it are happy ones.”

“I’m sorry,” Maria said. She looked at Nathan, and added, “We all are.”

Hope nodded politely. “I was in Beijing when it happened.”

“In the military?” Nathan asked.

“In my Air Force. Before I was assigned to come here.”

Maria looked surprised. “And you met Daniel then?”

“We work together, and... I wanted someone to watch The Bachelor with,” she added, grinning and hoping that the comment would break the tension.

Chloe laughed while Maria merely looked surprised. “I wouldn’t have thought it was his kind of show.”

“On a military base, TV is limited. Anything gains some luster.”

“I suppose it does.” Maria nodded, and then smiled. “And perhaps the audience made a difference.”
