Re: Susan and Zacharias
Susan, who'd been wondering whether she could ask Zach for some cuttings from the garden, faltered slightly at the mention of Astoria. "Oh, she's -- um --" She cast around for the right word and, failing to find one, lied. "She's great! Such a help!"
Susan took a hasty gulp of her drink to stop herself from babbling on further. She very much hoped that Astoria would be a great help, given time, but there were definitely some teething problems there. Still, it was nothing she wanted to mention to Astoria's cousin, of all people.
There was one thing she couldn't help bringing up, though. "I hear you told her I'd make a great boss."
