Freddie had somehow said all the correct things that Rhadika would need to hear, and he had said them all pretty much immediately? Oh he was clearly a champion at meeting parents. Armaan beamed at him as Rhadika practically glowed at the praise. "Oh listen to you," she said, clearly deeply flattered. "He has said wonderful things about you too, and I can see they were all true," she said, dropping her hands. She stayed right beside Freddie though. "I have been asking him to meet you for ages, and he makes so many excuses."
"Oy, you will not join up to harangue me!" Armaan laughed. He went to inspect the pot because honestly, he was starving, and he lifted the lid. "Oh, Maji, did you actually make vindaloo?" Oh god, she was trying to burn his white boyfriend's face off.
"It's delicious," she said, defending her choice.
"She's trying to see if you can take it," Armaan said to Freddie, his eyebrows raised.
