Mona flushed at Mr. Weasley's words, for she didn't think she looked guilty, and she looked at Alex who didn't look guilty. Hesitantly, she caught Mr. Weasley's glance and her stomach stopped rolling. Oh, he was just teasing.
She smiled at Alex's father, acknowledging the joke.
But then her smile dropped when she felt Alex's hand tight around her own, and she looked over at her boyfriend - saw the worry on his face. Mona squeezed back.
Was Mrs. Weasley really ill?
A nervous chuckle escaped her with the news, and Alex's reaction. "Wow...well, congratulations," Mona said softly.
