She cocked her head to the side looking at familiar person. " Hey." She whispered back, as Daniel hugged her from the side. " How is Alberto?" She questioned as he stood beside her, his green eyes looking briefly towards the garden before resting on her. " He will be fine. That was a sudden blow but we are use to it.
