"I'm overjoyed it works for you both. I hope it suits her and she's happy here as long as she wishes to stay. And you don't need to thank me, I like to help.

So don't hesitate to ask if you need help with something, I am far from perfect but I know the town well enough."

He looked back at him and held out a gloved hand. "While I hope you never need me, I do hope I can be of some use to the both of you."
