The table was silent with only the sound of cutlery making light noises. The three women sitting across the three men felt awkward.
''This doesn't have to be awkward. It's not like we don't know each other, right?'' George spoke.
''Uncle George, in my family, we don't talk in front of food. Food is considered a king in our culture.'' Darling said.
''Culture? Where are you ladies from?'' Wilson asked.
''Blue Town.'' Veta replied.
''You are all from Blue Town?'' George asked.
''Yes, we are all from Blue Town. Have you being there before?'' Costine asked.
''No, but that is where Carlos went to school. He even did his research at the Nana Research Institute.'' George said.
''Veta was there last year, right?'' Atalia turned to look at Veta.
''Yes… I was there for a few months.'' Veta replied.
''I'm done! Who is sending me to school?'' Darling put down her spoon and asked.
