Jack and Sarah returned from Richmond to soft applause and a few knowing smiles from Dragon Corp's upper floors, but the real news didn’t break until a week later.
It began quietly. Sarah skipped a key advisory meeting, and then another. Jack started answering her phone when she was home resting. Whispers formed, but no one dared to say anything out loud until the couple walked hand in hand into the company atrium on a Monday morning.
Sarah beamed as Jack tapped the mic for a short announcement. "Thank you all for holding down the fort," Jack began, glancing over at Emily, who nodded once from the crowd. "But today, we share something a little more personal."
Sarah placed a hand on her stomach. "We’re expecting."
The room erupted.
Cheers. Claps. Shocked gasps and sincere applause.
