Chapter 34: Vicious.

Arwen blinked. She opened her mouth to speak but then closed it, shaking her head. "I don't know," she said. 

"You don't know?" Gianna asked, frowning. When she saw Arwen still shaking her head in response, her eyes widened as she repeated, "Arwen, what do you mean you don't know? Aiden is a pretty common name. When you were signing the certificates, shouldn't you have asked him his full name?"

Arwen felt embarrassed. Of course, she should have asked and tried to get to know him as much as she could. "I had planned to, but then the magistrate pushed the papers towards me to sign first, and then to him. I didn't see the name he signed. Later, when I asked, he just said Aiden, and I didn't think to ask his surname. That was my mistake, I agree."
