Tea party (4)

Because of this awkward situation, we couldn't look at each other, much less clearly think straight.

My mom was even more excited than the two of them at this strange behavior of ours. And as the three of them talked about worldly things, most of the things being BS in this situation, their eyes never left us.

My first aunt was calmly smiling while preparing this delicious tea and our futile attempt to have each other's hand under the table was easily seen through by her.

Even my second aunt... even though she felt that we had already had enough of this, we were just too nostalgic and entertaining for her to let go just yet.

Zoe was doing her work properly, and even though I asked her, actually begged her to just let us do it for a while, she politely declined, saying she has made a secret deal with the three ladies.
