Yvette Vaughn was particularly fond of Thea Shaw, as she was the daughter of her best friend and was quite good-looking.
Sitting there obediently was already heartening; if Thea weren't so grown-up, she might have wanted to pinch Thea's cheek to see what it felt like.
When eating, Yvette talked to Thea, and Thea was quite respectful.
She generally didn't enjoy conversation, but she knew the politeness required for elders.
Yvette's attention initially stayed on her, but eventually, she couldn't help but complain about her husband.
"Lately, everything's been going wrong, and at home, he tells me various problems have arisen. Seems like what young people call Mercury retrograde, right?"
Yvette sighed, "I plan to find a chance to go to the temple to get him a lucky charm."
Thea thought, a lucky charm might not solve the problem.
At the end of the conversation, Mrs. Sutton said, "I'm going to the restroom."
Yvette said: "Go ahead."
