Susan and Zacharias
Susan had arrived a bit early, in the hope that she would be able to talk to Zach without Hannah being around. (Assuming Hannah had decided to come, of course.) Hannah had such strong opinions that sometimes it was hard for Susan to think her own thoughts. She wanted to forgive Zach -- although admittedly it would be a lot easier if he'd seemed at all sorry for what he did.
Hovering unobtrusively in the background, Susan waited until Wayne had finished speaking to Zach and moved off. Then, seizing her moment (and her courage), she approached Zach with a smile on her face, hoping he wouldn't sense her nerves. "Hi," she said. "How are you?"
