Drax received a probing call from Ian that confused him. There was, in fact, a small gathering scheduled to occur at his home. Since Mills had been clear about her opposition to him, Drax's mother had planned to hold a sort of matchmaking event disguised as a family function.
Drax of course was uninterested, but he was twenty-eight, and his mother was complaining that she needed more than one grandchild. The very thought of children was nearly enough to drive Drax insane and his cluelessness about how to proceed tortured him.
Mina told him that Mills needed him, and he had believed it was true, but when he went to visit her, she seemed fine. There was also what she had said in the hospital. She told him that losing their baby was for the best. She did not even entertain the idea of them being together, and the truth was that he had to move on, the same way she had done.
