Lena didn’t need to turn around to recognize the voice–she had just heard it last night.

“Aunt Xandra,” Lena greeted Xandra, who approached her excitedly.

“It really is you!” Xandra looked at Ron in surprise. “Cousin, so Lena is your girlfriend?”

Ron raised an eyebrow. “Why is she calling you ‘Aunt Xandra‘?”

Xandra blushed slightly, and Lena explained, “She’s my uncle’s girlfriend.”
