Chapter 20: The Harvest Supper
The Marshallville Grange hall held two hundred folding chairs, and every one of them was full on the third Saturday of November.
Long tables ran the length of the room, covered in white paper and pecan pies.
Verna sat at the third table with ten women from the line, and they had all put on lipstick.
Jesse's mother sat alone at the front in her navy dress.
Jesse and I sat in the middle, and under the paper his thumb moved across my knuckles, slow, again and again.
"Tell me to sit down," he said, low.
"I won't."
"Then I'll stand when you do."
Royce Tankersley rose at the head table with a glass of tea.
Waylon sat on his right in a pressed shirt, with the Peach Queen beside him and her father beside her.
"Friends and neighbors," Royce said. "Another good harvest by the grace of God."
People clapped.
"I have two announcements," he said.
"My son Waylon will marry this young lady here on the first Saturday of December, and I'll ask you all to come."
