Well when I introduced them both, a little awkwardly, they greeted each other and then Astrid was the first to speak and actually asked the same question I had in mind as well.
"So...Alice, do you have any questions on your mind? Go ahead, you can ask me anything."
"...no, well, it's that.... it's just, that's the first I've heard that you're married and have a daughter."
"Huh? Really? I was sure that... hummm, oh, that's right, I didn't mention that."
I was just as surprised, as Astrid was, after thinking about it for a bit, I think that 'little detail' slipped my mind when I was talking about Astrid, Not because I didn't want that to be known, but simply because I forgot.
I thought they knew. I already knew that Astrid had a daughter and was married from the beginning, but I hadn't told that to the rest.
Looks like I need to bring this up at the next "people gathered for the same purpose" meeting .
