The room fell into silence as awkwardness settled among the three people. Victoria looked between Xavier and Nicole. Her mind was spinning with so many questions. Nicole looked at Xavier, he was wearing an impassive expression, she could not tell what he was thinking.
"You guys are related? I would have never guessed", Nicole said with a laugh.
"What are the odds of that?" Xavier said in a flat tone.
"R-Right? But now that I'm seeing you two in one room, I can see the resemblance", she pointed between the mother and son and nodded a little vigorously.
A laugh was heard. It sounded more like a soft chuckle with a hint of amusement. Everyone turned to a smile on Zach's face with his gaze peeled on Amy. His right elbow was resting on the table and he rested his fist against his cheek while he looked at his wife adoringly.
