"Why don't you grind them while I cook the eggs?"
"Because the stove's not hot yet, Miss GreedyThere's a pan of cold
corn bread next to the grinderThat should tide you over
I'll do the cooking Scarlett swivelled aroundThe pan under the
napkin had four squares of corn bread left in itShe dropped her wrap
to reach for a pieceWhile she was chewing she put a handful of
coffee beans into the grinderThen she alternated taking bites of
corn bread with turning the handleWhen the corn bread was almost
gone, she heard the sizzle as Rhett dropped ham slices into a chanel purse for cheap skillet
"That smells like heaven," she said happilyShe finished grinding the
coffee with a spurt of rapid cranks"Where's the coffee pot?" She
turned, saw Rhett, and began to laughHe had a dishtowel tucked
into
the waistband of his trousers and a long fork in one handHe waved
the
fork in the direction of a shelf by the door"What's so funny?"
"YouDodging the fat spattersCover the stove hole or you'll set
the whole pan on fireI should have known you wouldn't know what
to
doI prefer the adventure of the open flameIt
takes
me back to the delightful days of christian dior handbags frying fresh buffalo steaks at a
campfire But he slid the skillet to one side of the opening in the
stove top"Did you really eat buffalo? In California?"
"Buffalo and goat and mule-and the meat off the dead body of the
person
who didn't make the coffee when I wanted itShe
ran across the cold stone floor to get the potThey ate silently at
the kitchen table, both concentrating hungrily on the foodIt was
warm and friendly in the dark roomAn open door on the stove gave
an
uneven reddish light
The smell of coffee brewing on the stove was dark and sweet
Scarlett balenciaga magenta pre owned wanted the breakfast to last foreverRosemary must have
liedRhett couldn't have told her he didn't want me"Rhett?"
"Hmm?"
He was pouring the coffeeScarlett wanted to ask him if the comfort
and laughter could last, but she was afraid it would ruin everything
"Is there any cream?" she asked insteadKeep your feet warm by the stove He was gone only a few
secondsWhile she stirred sugar and cream into her coflee, she
stirred up her nerve"Rhett?"
"Yes?" Scarlett's words tumbled out in a burst, quickly so that he
couldn't stop her
"Rhett, can't we have good times tiffany replica like this forever? This is a good
time, you know it isWhy do you have to keep acting as though you
hate me?" Rhett sighed"Scarlett," he said wearily, "any animal will
attack if it's corneredInstinct is stronger than reason, stronger
than willWhen you came to Charleston, you were backing me into a
cornerYou can't leave well
enough aloneBut you won't let me
"I will, I will let youI want you to be"
"You don't want kindness,
Scarlett, you want loveUnquestioning, undemanding, unequivocal
love
I gave you that once, when you didn't want itI used it all gucci large shopping tote bag up,
Scarlet
