“Mumma, this tastes so good,” Tiya said around a mouthful of the slightly spicy spinach, mushroom, and corn dish.

“I wish I could take credit for it,” Mumma responded lifting her fork in a salute. “But I did not make dinner tonight. Reign did.”

All conversations came to an abrupt end. Some of the family members looked down at their plates; others shared a questioning, almost horrific glance.

No one was willing to say anything. Devesh scooped up a forkful of chicken makhani over basmati rice and moaned like it was the best thing he’d ever tasted in his lifetime. Actually, it was. This was his mother’s recipe, but a few unfamiliar seasonings told him that Reign put her own touch in the meal as well.

“To eat or not to eat,” Devesh said in an affected English accent, cutting through the silence that permeated the room. “That is the question. Whether it is nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and rumblings of an outrageously empty stomach.”

Dinner quickly resumed. Congratulatory gestures and words were shot Reign’s way. She accepted demurely while trying to keep from laughing at Devesh displaying the new techniques from his acting class. The class first put a heavy emphasis on learning to perform Shakespeare. The concept was that British actors were more concerned about being a good actor and not so much about super stardom. The next rotation would be comedy and improvisation. Devesh was loving this new process almost as much as he was enjoying Reign’s home-cooked meal.

Only Tiya showed her entire ass by spitting a mouthful of food into a napkin and pushing her plate toward the center of the table. “I’ve lost my appetite.”

Devesh snatched up his sister’s plate, went into the kitchen and slid the contents into a Tupperware container. He sauntered into the dining room and presented it to Hiran, who quickly accepted it with glee.

Devesh smiled at Hiran and said, “This will come in handy when you get home since your wife’s cooking leaves a lot to be desired. Except for several trips to the bathroom.”

Tiya’s eyes glazed over with unconcealed hatred as everyone shared a laugh.

Reign’s lips lifted at the corners, and she mouthed the words, “Thank you.”
