"Ashley, dear!" Liza set aside the small thing she had been holding, smiling from ear to ear.
"Hi, Auntie!" Ashley approached the counter happily. "How are you?"
Seeing her smile like that, Liza couldn't help but chuckle. Ashley had such an infectious smile and such a light air around her.
The man standing beside Liza smiled as his wife shot him a knowing look, as if quietly telling him, See what I mean?
"I thought you wouldn't make it," Liza said before reaching for the man beside her. "Anyway, this is my husband I told you about."
Ashley blinked innocently as she looked at the man beside Liza. Her mouth fell open as her gaze darted between them.
"Auntie, are the two of you vampires?" she blurted out. "How come both of you look so young?"
Liza and her husband burst into laughter.
"Oh, dear," Liza remarked, while her husband added, "Now I understand why my wife wouldn't stop talking about the young lady she met yesterday. Nice to meet you, Miss Ashley."
