"She'll get there." Padma said thinking of her sister with their daughters just before they left. Remember her taking Devi shopping for an event. She did miss having her sister the same age, but considering what she'd lost at that point she really didn't think much about it.
She leaned into him and smiled softly. She wanted to tell him how much she missed him, loved him, but she didn't want to bring up anything else that might bring back the difficult part of the day. Typical to Padma she wanted to tell him he'd have to talk to Alicia and his friends, but selfishly she didn't want to say it.
"We should get her something..." She said thinking about Parvati, she knew it'd be a change for her sister, and she'd dealt with a lot lately. Padma wasn't easy to live with lately most likely. She wasn't herself, she wan't the Padma her sister knew.
