Rhett's big hands clenched
"I should strangle you, ScarlettThe world would be a better

everything she'd heard"Very well," he said then, "we'll leave
tomorrow as soon as the tide turns He walked to a door and threw it

Past his silhouette Scarlett could see the night skyThere was a
three-quarter moonThen she saw the mist from
the
river that covered the ground outsideThe moonlight made it white,
and for a confused moment she wondered if it had snowedA billow of
mist enveloped Rhett's feet and ankles, then dissipated into the room
He closed the omega ladies watch constellation door and turnedWithout the moonlight, the room
seemed
very dark until a match flared, illuminating Rhett's chin and nose from

the bed to burrow under the covers
He stood over her a moment before chanel knock off purse he left the roomShe listened to
his footstepsNo, he wasn't going downstairs, he'd be close by

dreading what was to comeThen, again, she was running, with her

accumulated, grew strongerAnd yet it was not the sameFor in the
past, she had been running and reaching for something unnamed and

he
was what she was searching for, that when she reached him the
dream
would lose its power and fade away, never to returnShe ran and ran,
but he was always far ahead, always with his back turned on her
Then
the fog thickened, and he began to disappear, and she cried out to
himYou're dreaming, it's not real cartier roadster chrono Strong arms lifted her
and held her, and she was warm and safe at lastScarlett half-woke
with a startInstead, a lamp on a table cast a
glowing light and she could see Rhett's face bent close above hers

"The old dream?"
"Yes, yes-well, almostThere was something different, I can't
remember But I was cold and hungry and I couldn't see because of
the fog, and I was so frightened, Rhett, it was terrible He held her
close and his voice vibrated in his hard chest next to her ear

just fine He laid her down against the rolex 18k watches pillo
