Sean rides over to Marita's house and knocks on the door. Isaac
comes to the
door. "Good evening Sean," Isaac greets Sean.
Good evening, can I speak with Marita?"
"Well sure, but she's not here. She went to Dora Mae's again."
"Thanks Isaac." Sean bolted to find Marita.
Isaac knows that something is wrong with Marita and Sean, and he knows that it has everything to do with her leaving, but he hopes that they'll fix the problem so Marita can enjoy her last few days in Lexington. He also knows that if he could pick a husband for his daughter, the man would describe Sean Logan, but he would be in a black body. "Lord, I just hope that you bless Marita with someone who can honor her and love her like she deserves."
Sean finally makes it to Dora Mae's and sees Marita, "There she is." But, she sitting there with Charlie...again. "I've got to get rid of him," Sean thinks to himself. Marita now sees Sean walking towards her, and she freezes. "I miss him so much. Go away Charlie!" Marita think to herself.
"Uh Marita can I talk to you for a minute?"
Marita is still upset with Sean, but she misses him enough to hear him out. "Excuse me Charlie." Charlie gives a reluctant nod. Marita walks over to Sean. "How can I help you?" Marita says like her and Sean are doing business.
"Well since you put it that way. First you can forgive me for not showing up last week; second, you can forgive me for making a fool out of myself here last week; third, you can forgive me for being so prideful and jealous."
"Hmmm, let's see here. You've pled guilty for three crimes, but before forgiveness can be granted one must know the reason for these crimes, Marita says smiling.
"Before the reason can be validated, answer this question: Did you mean it when you told Vivian that you were going to Boston to find a respectable husband in Boston?" Sean asked.
"How'd you know that I spoke with Vivian? Did she tell you?" Marita asked back.
"No, she didn't have to, I was there. I was coming into the store to get some feed when I saw you and Vivian hugging."
"And you didn't say anything?" Marita asked.
"I should have, but I was too curious as to why she was hugging you, so I just listened. So, answer my question. Did you mean it," Sean pleads.
"You really should enter eavesdropping as a fourth crime; however, I did not say that, I just agreed with Vivian because I just wanted her to hush. She kept asking so many questions and going on and on. So, is that why you didn't show up for dinner?"
"Ya, I was pretty upset," Sean admitted.
"Sean, you should have come and talked to me instead of talking to the bartender," Marita said.
"I know, and I once again ask for your forgiveness."
"Hmmm, all right forgiveness granted on all three or all four crimes." Sean smiled and reached to hug Marita. "Sean," Marita said reminding him that they were still at Dora Mae's house. They both looked back at the ten or so people there who was now an audience because they were all staring at Sean and Marita even though they were trying to act like they weren't looking.
"I think that we have an audience. You feel like having dinner at my Pa's tonight?" Sean asked.
"That's fine, but this time, I'll meet you there at 6:00.," Marita said smiling.
"Hop on, I can drop you off at your house," Sean said holding out his hand. "Sean, I don't think..."Marita said. "C'mon Marita, they know that we're friends," Sean says persisting.
"All right, but just a minute." Marita walks back over to Dora Mae. "Hey, I'm gonna take a ride home okay. I'll see you Sunday." Sean watches as Charlie's eyes are on Marita. "That's right, she's mine," Sean says to himself with a smile. Sean helps Marita onto the horse, and they ride away.
"There's somethin' goin' on 'tween them two. 'Member that letter a few months ago, I bet it wadn't all false," Dora Mae says.
"What you talkin' 'bout Dora Mae? You think them two's tippin? You think one of 'dem Logans would mess with a colored?" Charlie inquires wanting to know more."
"Marita may be colored, but she been raised right 'long them Logans, she midas well be a Logan. Ya'll saw the way they's lookin' at each other. Then they way he helped her on that horse. I bet his horse ain't the only thang she's gonna ride tonight! Ya'll gonna 'member these words, there's somethin' going on 'tween them two. That may not be the only reason she's leaving Lexington," Dora Mae laughed.
