"You should have learned long ago, Rhett Butler,that I never give up. I must speak with you, privately." she said in a calm tone. "Alright then, but I can't talk
for long, I'm here with a friend." "Friend my foot," thought Scarlett," That Belle is just white trash in a dress." They both stepped outside.
The brief silence was broken when Rhett spoke:"so Scarlett, have you come to tell me the words I've been expecting?
That you're running away with the wooden headed Mr. Wilkes?" "Stop speaking this way! I told you that it's you I love, and not Ashley! I realized that I love you Rhett.
Don't you still love me?I-I know you must!" She waited breathlessly for those three magic words, but they didn't come. "Oh how woman is fickle,"said Rhett,"one minute, your in the arms of Ashley Wilkes,
the next your running after me. I may love you Scarlett. I know at one point I really did. But you stole my heart and trampled all over it.Yes, there is chance I may still love you. I think we've talked enough for now.
I'll come by Tommorrow to speak with you again. I don't want to keep Belle waiting any longer." Hot tears sprung into Scarlett's eyes. "I don't even see why your friends with that... that, Belle!" She tried to walk away,
realizing that she had said that aloud. Rhett grabbed her arm and said "who are you to insult her? I'll have you know she is a very great lady. She has one thing you don't, a heart." Scarlett losend herself from his grip and slapped right smack on his face,
as hard as she could."How dare you! I have a heart. Oh boy, do I have a heart, and don't tell me otherwise. You're right, this conversation has gone far enough. I'll see you tommorrow, at Aunt Pitty's." She turned and
walked away from the saloon.And Rhett, eyes glaring with anger, walked back into the saloon. on her way back she thought"Of course i have a heart! I took care of Melanie when she was going to have her baby. and all those hungry soldiers too!"

When Scarlett went back to Aunt Pitty's and stepped inside, everyone was waiting for her." I guess that conversation with Rhett longerer than I thought." she said to herself.
"Miss scarlett, You don ben out dare fo' too long. I's gettin' worried bout ya." said Mammy in a relieved and slighty angry tone."It's alright Mammy, I'm here now." "Scarlett, I'm sorry, but the tea is cold now. You were out there for so long.
do you want Uncle Peter to make a nice hot kettle for us?" "yes, I'd like a cup of tea, it was a little chilly out there. I'm so sorry for worrying you all, but I was having such a nice walk that I lost track of time." Scarlett lied. She longed to go back into that
saloon and have Rhett declare that he loved her. Soon Aunt Pitty sat down and uncle Peter brought a hot kettle of tea. He poured some in both of thier cups, and than left the room. "Oh, I just don't know what to do now that Melanie is gone. She was such
an angel. Every time I think of it, I feel I shall faint!" said Aunt Pitty, waving a fan back and forth vigorously. "I do miss her..." said Scarlett becoming lost in thought. "Melanie was a fool trying to have another baby,"Scarlett thought angrily,"If she had just listened
to the doctor, none of this would have happened!" "We'll be eating supper in a few minutes. I can't wait to taste it! Uncle Peter is trying out a new recipie!" Aunt Pitty said happily. Even though Scarlett was less than hungry, She did not want to dissapoint Aunt Pitty.
"That sounds nice," she said," I hope it turns out well." "Oh Don't worry my dear, uncle peter is so talented at cooking..." Scarlett couldn't help stop listening, She stared out of the window behind the couch the velvet green couch she was sitting on. She stared at the saloon.

When night fell, Scarlett lay awake in her bed. She was tired but endless thoughts filled her head. Would Rhett say he loved her? Would they finally be happy together? She got up from her bed, put on her robe, and went to the front porch. She remembered all the nights when Rhett
had come to talk with her, right there on the front porch. There was a cool gentle breeze, and her loose curls gently flew around her face. She was crying now, for she pined to go back in time to do everything differently. "Scarlett, I didn't expect you to be out here at such a time. Dry
your eyes, my dear." she turned to the familiar voice. There, in front of her, stood Rhett.
I hope you enjoy it!
