Gloria kept a wary eye and ear on Tristan's conversation with Victoria, she didn't like the way it was going. He was getting the little girl's hopes up, and Gloria wasn't sure how she was going to handle it.
"They are adorable, together," she agreed, nodding toward the little ones. "I know you must think I'm a horrible person." She had no doubt Tristan had told Jeff all about her sudden exit from his life. It didn't occur to her that Jeff might be a reincarnate like Tristan, she thought the whole thing was a joke, anyway.
But she was suddenly very attracted to Jeff, and she had to catch herself before she put a hand on his arm. It was enough to distract her from Tristan and Victoria, at least, giving Tristan some measure of privacy, insofar as was possible in a room full of people.
