On the Dotted Line
“Mr. Van Ayers leaned over and tied one side of his tamale.
“Van, don’t get my nail stuck in there.” Lillian winced, but per her husband’s instructions kept her fingers in place.
“I spent a lifetime watching your nails, do you think I would tie one up over three thousand miles away from your nail lady?” He moved to the other side. “Stay still, I know we can beat them.”
Willow shook her head at the scene in front of her. Not in a million years did she ever think she would find Mr. Van Ayers makin...g tamales on Christmas with the rest of the Van Ayers clan, but more surprising than anything was watching them work together. They were a true husband and wife team. Even with Mr. Van Ayers’ commanding presence and Lillian’s unique look on the world, the love between them was evident.
