Elizabeth smiled her encouragement as the young lass nodded her acceptance.<br/><br/>"There is no need to be shy Saryanne. I am so glad you decided to join us. We are ok people, don't worry. I am sure you will warm up in no time. If nothing else, be one of your favorite characters from your books, make this into a scene in your book and think how he or she would." Elizabeth spoke softly and gently leading the girl to their table. She stood before the table and waited until she had everyone's attention.<br/><br/>"Hey guys, this is Saryanne and she is going to join us. Please make her welcome." Elizabeth announced with a warm welcoming smile to her and a slight glower at anyone at the table who might be rude.<br/><br/>"Please have my seat Saryanne, I will sit just down from you here."
