It is, Therese has to admit, just a bit of a relief to come across someone else she knows here. Given that she would hardly consider herself social, she wouldn't have expected much in the way of that as it is, but she can't pretend it isn't a little awkward to be in a room that, Neil aside, is mostly full of strangers. So when she sees Gabriel, she smiles, making sure he doesn't look occupied before she makes her way over. Chances are, she's always going to be a little out of place in situations like this, but she is, at least, making an effort.

"Gabriel, hi," she says. "How have you been? It feels like it's been a while."
