Slán, Éatán, Maggie said as she began measuring out a length from the spool.As Ransom drew Garrett away with him, she asked, What did she say to you?The Irish are superstitious about using the word good-bye. Instead we say slán, which means ‘go in safety.’And the other word? . . . Ay-ah-tahn. What does that mean?Éatán is how the Irish say my name.Garrett thought the three syllables were lovely, with a musical lilt. I like that, she said gently. But your last name . . . Ransom . . . that’s English, isn’t it?There have been Ransoms in Westmeath for over three hundred years. Don’t make me prove I’m Irish in public, lass—it would prove embarrassing to us both.No need, she assured him, a grin crossing her face. ― Lisa Kleypas, Hello Stranger
