“East or American?” Clara asked, to get an idea of what to expect.
Evelyn closed her eyes slowly and her face went neutral. She then opened them up and blinked several times before devising a reply.
“Society has moved beyond that,” Evelyn said. “So, I’m offering a taste of India tonight, along with a quick lesson on what might be inappropriate speech by today’s standards.”
“Oh,” Clara said as her cheeks reddened.
