Luna Marry’s eyes widened just a little at the mention of Elena’s father, but she quickly smoothed her expression, like someone folding away a delicate secret.
The last thing she wanted was to stir up painful memories.
" Austin, " she said, her voice warm and motherly, " raising a child on your own while working must be exhausting. Why don’t you and Elena move in with us? I could help with her. She and Eliot go to the same school, so we could handle drop-offs and pick-ups together. "
Austin caught the look in Luna Marry’s eyes. That look said everything.
The woman was clearly trying to play matchmaker.
Luna Marry probably thought it was a smart move. Put them under the same roof, let their lives overlap, and hope something romantic would "magically happen."
