Heather was a capable cook, but Tamar had learned from the best, their mother Jean. Heather had been too young when their mother was murdered. “How’s the house coming?” Heather asked over pie and ice cream after dinner. “Comin’ along,” Tamar said with a smile. “The neighbors are farmin’ the land. It should be ready before winter, an’ we can all have Christmas there, if ya like.” Heather smiled. “Actual snow at Christmas? I have missed that!” Tamar chuckled. “Yeah,” she agreed. “Atlanta ain’t all that Christmasy, is it?” “You going to invite Kellen?” Tamar flushed and nearly dropped her fork. “K-Kellen?” Heather chuckled. “Yes, your gentleman friend.” “How did ya know about him?” “Kenny told me.” Heather grinned. “Argh! Ah’ll strangle him!” Tamar’s pale skin flushed again. “He’s...just a friend,” she said. “Ah’ve got too much on mah plate raisin’ ya’ll ta be datin’.” “Most of us can take care of ourselves, Tam,” Heather said quietly. “It’s time you unpaused.” Tamar looked at Heather in confusion. Heather sighed and ate the last bite of her pie, chewing silently before putting down her fork and wiping with her napkin. “You put your life on hold for us after mom and dad died,” she said. “Raised us. Now it’s time to pick it up again.” Tamar laughed. “An’ just what would Ah do, Heather?” she asked. “Go to college,” Heather said. “You wanted to be an actress. You tried out for every play in high school.” Tamar laughed. “Ah was a horrible actress, Heather. The only thing Ah had was a great singin’ voice,” she reminded with a chuckle. “An’ you are the smart one. Ah’m not sure Ah’d make it in college. Yer the first in the family ta go.” “I think you raised four kids. I think you could do anything,” Heather said with a slight smile. Tamar blushed and started to clear the table.TBC</blockquote>
