From "White Bowls in White Cupboards"

Sonia had honey blond highlights painted on by a woman named Melissa. Melissa had pink nails and a pink baby boy, and she lived in a house with a sun porch. One day, Melissa brought a big pitcher of homemade sun tea into the salon, and Sonia became fixated by this gesture; an effort she found at once charming and irksome. Melissa handed her a red plastic cup, the ubiquitous type you see in the hands of men at outdoor parties, and Sonia thanked her, and assured her it was good. That word- that jug of sun tea, it got her thinking about the expression, “out-of-doors”, and did this term exist when the world was full of tent flaps?
