We all turn to look at him. He has an orange kitten with white stripes in his lap. He's young, and, and about Evetta's complexion; like Evetta, he seems to be mixed with black and multiple other races that you'd probably never figure out on your own (Evetta's maternal grandmother is Indonesian, her maternal grandfather is half Syrian; her father's father's father was Indian, hence her last name, Maji.) He has the same hair texture as her; kinky, but, at the same time, curly, springy spirals shooting in every direction.473Please respect copyright.PENANAdaVVX80CB5
