Much as Tess wanted another glass of wine to dull the sharp edge of her anxiety, she thought it best to be able to think clearly, so she ordered coffee. Hannah arrived with her friend, Susie, and another woman, who bore a clear resemblance to Hannah. Susie was a tiny burst of energy. She had wild brown curls that she kept carelessly pushing out of her face and bright brown eyes to match. She was an amusing contrast to Hannah, barely reaching Hannah’s shoulder. Hannah quickly introduced Tess to Susie and Emma who turned out to be Hannah’s sister. Emma shared Hannah’s blue eyes and long, dark hair with less curl to it. She was somewhat reserved, although in comparison to Susie, almost anyone could seem reserved.
