Was she really pregnant?
Anna, with her shopping basket in hand, moved quietly between the aisles of the children's store, her eyes scanning the clothes, but her ears keenly tuned to the conversation happening just on the other side of the shelf. The soft murmur of the women's voices had piqued her curiosity, and though she usually avoided eavesdropping, something about this gossip was just too juicy to ignore.
"I know, right," the first voice continued, hushed but filled with excitement. "It's such big news. She's such a huge star now, and to think she's going to be a mom..."
Anna found herself instinctively leaning closer, her heart quickening with curiosity. *Who could they be talking about?* The world of celebrities was always buzzing with rumors, but this one sounded particularly scandalous. The hushed tone of their voices made it clear they were discussing someone major—someone in the limelight, someone she probably knew.
