Beautiful Disaster
At 5:00 PM sharp, with a tray of refreshments in tow, Anna ushered in the woman in question.
Going by her name alone, Marybeth had expected a young, coloured woman. So when a tall, dark-skinned, middle-aged woman strolled in behind Anna, the beads on the ends of her equally dark braids chinking softly with the sway of her ample hips, she was shocked to see how way off the mark she was. From her surname, she should have known she was possibly Xhosa.
"Mrs Hawthorne," Nomaindia said, her voice free of an accent, her eagle-like gaze zoning in on Marybeth. "It's a pleasure to meet you."
