Elsie smiled knowingly, though slightly self-consciously. Bless him for not being tuned into the gossip mill. They had always had that in common. "It's um, Mrs. Kirke now, actually." A faint blush crossed her cheeks, but it had to be done. Telling him was awkward, certainly, but the fact that she was actually, truly married, still gave her butterflies, even now, a month in.

Toying with her wedding band idly, Elsie just barely fought of the urge to place her free hand on her growing stomach. She was being very conscious about that. Soon enough there would be no hiding it, but until it was obvious, she didn't want to draw attention to it. "How do you know the bride and groom?" Elsie had no idea if prolonging this conversation was a bad idea or not, but he had obviously moved on and she had too, both had a solid place in life, there was no reason to let things continue to be awkward. Still, she would ask only a question or two and then could part ways, hopefully amicably.
