Miles nudged Astrid gently, his voice low with concern, trying to get her back to herself.
"Hey, what's wrong? You look like you have seen a ghost." He whispered in her ears as he jerked her back again.
Astrid's gaze snapped back to reality, and she looked around nervously, hoping no one had noticed her distress, and thankfully none did aside from Miles.
But everyone's attention was focused on Julian and Mattie, and Miles was the only one who seemed to have noticed her.
Astrid's eyes glazed over as she stared blankly at the scene before her. The family was congratulating Julian and Mattie on their pregnancy, and the air was filled with laughter and excitement. But Astrid's heart felt like it had been ripped into a million pieces.
She shook her head, trying to brush off the emotions that threatened to overwhelm her. "Nothing's wrong," she lied, her voice barely above a whisper.
