The wedding announcement has just been made. We need to deal with that, especially Aaditha. Then, to appear on national television, answering questions together about each other, would be too much at this stage. It will keep the media at bay for a while, sure, but at themoment, she needs her space.
‘Lunch at noon,’ Mother says, tapping her dial. ‘It is our last on this visit. I leave tomorrow.’
I’m on my feet to walk her to the door. She has obviously waited only because the wedding announcement was to appear in today’s newspaper.
My phone pings. It’s an email from Aaditha.
