“You’re looking good,” Claire purred. “I’ve missed you.” Elle bristled at the woman’s obvious seductive tone. “I didn’t know you and my mother were still in touch,” Brock said. “She insisted I come tonight. She told me you would be here.” Brock cleared his throat. “Claire, this is my wife, Elle.” Claire blinked and parted her lips as if in surprise. “I thought I’d heard a rumor, but I wasn’t sure,” she said in a sad voice, then turned to Elle. “Congratulations, Elle. You got a wonderful man.” “I know,” Elle said, forcing herself to extend her hand. “Thank you. Lovely to meet you.” “She’s so sweet,” Claire said to Brock. “I never would have expected you to choose someone so—” She broke off and shrugged her bare, glimmering shoulders. “It’s coming back to me now. Are the two of you expecting?” Silence stretched between them, against the background noise of social conversation and tinkling glasses. “Yes,” Brock said. “Elle and I are very much looking forward to our first child.”
