hard to get

Before Grandma and Grandpa arrived, we were a little worried that Margaret would take some time to display her native charm.  She's become a little reticent, a bit more guarded around people she doesn't see consistently.  We thought that this stage -- call it separation anxiety if you like -- might pose a problem during the visit. 

It turns out that we shouldn't have worried.  While it took her a little while to truly warm up to her grandparents, it was nothing that a little wooing couldn't solve.  (Plus, Grandma likes a challenge.)  She was soon very comfortable with them.  They, in turn, were smitten.
