After a short pause, he added, “Also, they already have a child.”

Kieran abruptly looked up, thinking he must have misheard. “What did you say?”

“It’s true. I was just as shocked when I found out. You’d never guess, just looking at her.”

Indeed.

He had worked with Celeste at YodaVision for so long and had never once heard her mention a child. Nothing about her gave that impression either.

Seeing how stunned he was, his friend asked, “Want me to keep going?”

The implication was clear—Celeste had been married and had a child. Would Kieran still like her? If not, then there was no point in continuing to dig into her past.
