Chapter Twelve

As the night wore on, the pitchers of margaritas got stronger and Angelina found she was having the time of her life. One of the Brothers was acting as the DJ and a makeshift dance floor had been put together. She was sitting there tapping her toes when a line dance song came on and Renda looked at her, saying, “C’mon, sweetie, it’s time we show our North Georgia family how us ‘southern’ girls do it!”

Laughing, she put her glass down and headed out to the dance floor, not surprised to find Eva and Debbie and a few other old ladies moving out to line up. It took a few minutes, likely because of the margaritas, before they got into it and before she knew it, they had flowed into a second then a third song. Finally begging off for a drink when the next one started, she headed back to the table. “Cherub? You’ve got hidden talents,” Zeke told her when she sat back down and grabbed her drink. “And I want to dance with you tonight,” he whispered next to her ear.

“I’d like that. Zeke? I’m having a great time,” she said, looking up at him.

He kissed her forehead and said, “I’m glad, Cherub. I am as well. How much of a headache are you going to have in the morning?”

She giggled as she thought about the drinks she had already had before saying, “Shouldn’t be too bad. I’ll take something before I go to bed. Just hope I hear the alarm so I don’t miss church!”

He chuckled before saying, “I think with the number of folks staying at your house, you’ll be okay, yeah?”

The music slowed and he looked at her and held out his hand. “Cherub? Ready to dance?”

“Yes, yes I am.”

As they watched Zeke and Angelina circle the dance floor, Dex looked over at Preacher and simply said, “He’s her kinsman-redeemer, even if he can’t see it himself yet.”

“Yeah, man. I agree.”

Renda, listening in, spoke up and said, “He’s going to have to convince her though, because she thinks that she shouldn’t be an old lady again, she already had that once.”

Both men looked at her, incredulous expressions almost identical. “What do you mean, she doesn’t think she should be an old lady again? Hell, she’s a perfect old lady, and honestly? I can’t think of a better woman to stand alongside our President,” Preacher said.

“I think she’ll get there and I think your President and a lot of prayers from those of us who love her will help her get to that point,” Renda stated.

“Yeah, in the meantime, I’m enjoying watching this pan out,” Eva said, having come back with another pitcher of the potent margaritas. She topped off all the womens’ glasses before she sat back down and continued, “Neither of them realize that what is going on is so far beyond them. It’s years of prayers being answered. He’s more at ease even though he was never really a hard-ass to begin with, and in the short amount of time I’ve known her, I’ve seen her blossom.
