It was two weeks since the Halliway's had seen Brock. He walks into the bar while his beautiful red haired love is singing one of his favorite songs. Mike is serving a drink to some people at the bar. Mike gives Brock a look when he notices him. Brock walks over to the counter. Mike takes the money from one of his customers and walks over to where Brock is standing.
"What are you doing here? You promised Reba that you wouldn't come back!" Mike exclaims but not loud enough that it would disturb anybody else.
"I had to come talk to her. I've given her a lot of time to think about what I've asked, I am sorry that I am back; but I had to. I needed to give it one more shot to see if she loved me or not." Brock states.
"She already told you that she loved you! She just can't marry you. She needs time, we just lost Terry. You can't expect her to jump into your arms right after she lost her husband. I wish you could understand that." Mike says. As Mike and Brock argue, Reba finishes her song and walks down over to them.
"How'd I do?" Reba asks Mike without realizing that Brock is there with him.
"You did wonderful as usual. You are making Terry proud hon. You're making all of us proud Reba." Mike says. Reba hugs him.
"I am going to sit about 5 minutes before I get back up and sing. I've been singing for hours. My vocal chords need a rest." Reba says taking a bottle of water off the bar that Mike put up there for her. Mike looks at Brock. Brock pleads with him behind Reba's back. Mike takes the towel off the bar and wipes his hands.
"Reba, you have an unexpected guest." Mike says.
"Oh, who is it? Where?" Reba asks looking around the room. Brock walks up from behind her. When Reba sees him she sighs loudly.
"Hi." Brock says waving to her.
"Are you EVER gonna leave me alone?" Reba asks.
"I came to plead with you one more time to marry me." Brock says.
"Brock Hart, I've told you before, I am NOT going to marry you. I am tired of you asking me. I resent the fact that you can't leave me and my family alone. I loved you at one time. I married Terry; I don't feel that way anymore. Please go away." Reba says.
"You really want me to go?" Brock asks.
"Yes! I told you, I don't want you to come around here upsetting my girls. Go home and don't come back!" Reba replies hatefully.
"Fine, when I walk out that door I'm not ever coming back. All I asked was for you to give me a chance Reba! You told me 20 some years ago that you loved me. Is that all taken back now just because your husband died?" Brock asks her but doesn't expect a response. "Good bye Reba." Brock storms out of the bar.
Sorry for ending it this way…
