Scarlet twisted around to speak at Robin and soon realized she stood alone.. she glanced up seeing her friend on the floor kickin her heels up to the music floating through the barn..
Tonight I'm gonna meet her to hungry house cafe And I'm gonna give her all the love I can She's gonna jump and holler 'Cause I saved up two dollars She's gonna search and find that preacher man.
Turning herself around and stepping just a few paces towards the snackarea she reached for a glass of punch resting on the counter. She no sooner had the glass to her lips when she felt her arm being tugged by none other than Jimmy Dean.. she let out a disapproving sigh and tried to focus on something else..
"Scar... Scar.. SCAR!!" Jimmy kept repeating while tugging at her elbow.. "Scar.. when are you going to return my calls? I have left several messages on your machine and had hoped you would have at least gotten back with me earlier."
"Jimmy, there is nothing more for me to say.. What is done is done. It's over. Nothing more. Finished.. now let me get on with my life.. and I suggest you do the same". Scarlet gulps the rest of her punch and tries to walk past but instead Jimmy grabs at her waist and tries to escort her to the dance floor. Ronnie Milsap's voice overpowered the air.
I thumbed my way from LA back to Knoxville I found out those bright lights aint where I belong From a phone booth in the rain I called to tell her I've had a change of dreams I'm comin' home But tears filled my eyes when I found out she was gone
Smokey Mountain rain keeps on fallin' I keep on callin' her name Smokey Mountain rain I'll keep on searchin' I can't go on hurtin' this way She's somewhere in the Smokey Mountain rain
Scarlet's hesitation was left unnoticed and Jimmy's persistance won out. She found herself in his arms on the dance floor. Her fighting him only seemed to give him enjoyment and she quickly gave in, at least to a dance. They sashayed over past Robin and Gary. Robin gave an expression of puzzlement to Scarlet while she returned with a discusted look. Only a few mins more and she would find herself along the wall gossiping with Robin... at least.. she HOPED..
