'I'm always a bit nervous when I meet new people' she said smiling going back to her colour. 'Doesn't your name mean something like Lily or Rose?' she asked.
Susanna nodded. 'I thought so,' she said, before taking another sip of her drink. She sighed as she put the drink down, wrapping her fingers around it again and looking at Esmeralda. 'Nervous meeting new people? Now, you're the fifth person I know like that. Four of my nieces are like that. Honestly, I don't know why at times.' She laughed softly, the sound almost musical as she thought about Lea, Jade, Jodie and Maria, all nervous when meeting new people.
Coughing, Susanna nodded at Esmeralda's last statement. 'Yeah. In Hebrew, it means lily and rose. If it had a "h" on the end, it would just be lily,' she told Esmeralda, with her eyes narrowed curiously, one eyebrow raised. 'How in the world did you know that? It's not very well known.'
