After dusting the last picture (a snapshot of the twins as small children) and putting it in its place, Parvati rushed to her tiny kitchen where several pots sat cooking on the stove. Batata vada and a delicious curry were the main course. The apartment was permeated by the strong smell of the pungent spices.
Just as Parvati finished setting the table, there was a knock. She knew it was her sister and opened the door.
"Padma!"

As she pulled away from her sister, Padma glanced around the flat slowly with a gentle smile. Obviously her sister had cleaned up more than a bit, and goodness, what was that delicious aroma in the air?
"The place looks great, Parvati. And the flat smells wonderful," Padma said, turning and grinning at her sister. "You always could manage better than I could at the fancy things."

The small round table in the kitchen was set with a bright orange tablecloth and brilliant yellow plates and napkins. Parvati thought the festive colors would remind her sister of home - they certainly brought back a lot of memories for her. And their mother's recipes would certainly help.
"Have a seat. There's some elderflower wine chilling in the fridge there. Have yourself a glass and relax." Parvati opened one silver pot and the pungent aroma of Indian spices teased her nostrils. Her stomach gave an involuntary growl as she stirred the curry.
"I'm actually glad you're here because I have something I want to talk to you about." Parvati's visit with Pansy yesterday was still fresh in her mind. "It's about Theo. And you."
