Won an Award; Lost Her Husband

Seeing the Walker family failing to impress Anya and her smart son, the Steven family took the chance and spoke, "The family gets strong by spending time together and working hard towards achieving the common goal."

Zane felt half of the words fly over his head. They have to support each other to achieve their goal. But 'The common goal?' 

Zane went and sat on the other armchair and asked. "What is the common goal?" He was ready to improve his knowledge.

Father Steven responded politely, "Planning for the future. Education of children, travel, and family time." 

Zane was curious about this new way. He turned to Anya and acknowledged, "Momma, this is interesting."

Anya smiled in response but her head started throbbing with these people's nonsense. Does she look like a fool to believe them even if she wasn't married?
