Blinking her eyes, Anna felt that Zelda was unusually enthusiastic today.

She glanced at Vivienne, seeking help, and Vivienne shot her a knowing look that said, "Girl, my aunt fancies you as a niece-in-law."

Zelda, aware that Vivienne had serious matters to discuss, didn't press further, content to wait until they were finished.
