Owen is Off the Market

By the time Xander arrived to pick Aurora up, the evening had set in. He greeted his mother the same way he always did, sitting down for a brief moment to catch up and eat some salads as he didn't want to eat anything else.

When asked about his meeting, he replied, "It went well."

Then, Old Mrs. Scott dropped unexpected news. "Owen is getting married again," she said.

Xander's fork paused mid-air. Aurora, who had been relaxing on the couch, blinked in surprise.

"Where did you hear that?" Xander asked.

"Your brother, Richard, told me last night."

Xander and Aurora exchanged a look.

"It's only been a few weeks since his divorce," Xander muttered. "Why the rush?"

Old Mrs. Scott's next words explained it all. "The woman he's marrying is pregnant."

Xander set his fork down. Aurora sat up straighter.
