[Gone with the Wind] Back to the beginning

At first, Scarlett didn't realize that time had turned back.

Her memory still stays in that cold fog.She stumbled and chased forward, and the nightmare would never end.Maybe she passed out and was brought back, Scarlett thought coldly.The dry and hot throat and the chaotic mind made her more aware that her physical condition was not good, but none of these could compare to the pain of the man pulling away and leaving.

Scarlett closed her eyes.But a few seconds later, she suddenly opened it again!

wrong!This is not her and Rhett's home!In extreme shock, Scarlett recognized the room she was in. If she remembered correctly, this was clearly... It was clearly the room where she lived at Aunt Pitt's house after she married Frank Kennedy!

But this is not right.Scarlett's brain was running fast, and she drank the water on the table in one gulp, and the burning sensation in her throat seemed to subside a lot.This is not right at all!Even if someone saw her passed out and sent her to Aunt Pitt because there was no one else in the Butler House to take care of her, they would not place her in this room!Scarlett remembered clearly that this room belonged to Indy after she moved out, and the other party would not be willing to receive her anyway, especially if the room she lived in when she was single was still vacant!Scarlett put the glass back on the table irritably, but her eyes accidentally caught something, and her pupils dilated slightly.

It was a picture of her with Frank Kennedy.

————————————————————————

Rhett knocked on the knocker on the door of Pete's house, and the dull sound made the dust in the air vibrate slightly.He heard a voice and knew it was Pete staggering across the hall to open the door.He waited very patiently, although he came here today because he couldn't wait any longer.

Rhett was politely dressed in black mourning, his ruffled shirt purposely starched, and his manners were impeccable, as is the custom of old friends coming to pay their respects.But there was a comic irony in Rhett's seriousness, but fortunately Pete didn't see it.She received Rhett gratefully and hilariously, but when Rhett asked to see Scarlett, Pete still opened his eyes wide.

"I think she'll see me." Rhett's voice was firm.

"But she's asleep, Captain Butler, and no one wants to see her. Poor Scarlett, she can't keep up, she—" explained Pete, still disturbed by his faux pas.

"Please tell her I'm leaving tomorrow. I have something important to talk to her about. I think she'll see me." Rhett said politely.

"But—" Pete was anxious.

At this time, the sound of running came from the passage upstairs, and Scarlett's face appeared above the railing.Her hair was disheveled and not arranged, and her face was very pale, panicked, and worried.But the green eyes were strangely bright, as if burning with some desperate conviction.Rhett's black eyes met Scarlett's, and he felt as if he had been hit by something all over his body, and so did Scarlett.

"Wait for me, Rhett, I'll be right down," she called, and Rhett noticed that her voice was shaking violently.His hands were also trembling a little, and he suddenly felt an uncertain sense of reality.He sits on the sofa.

She would like to see him, well, as expected.Frank Kennedy's death had hit her a little anyway, and what Scarlett needed wasn't to be alone with her sorrows (he feared she wouldn't feel that way about old Frank), but to be with someone who would keep her in her heart. Less panic.Of course she'd hoped it was Ashley, but she couldn't figure out what was best for her-- Rhett mused.He knew that already, but sometimes he wished she would be a little wiser after all, just a little bit—she should understand what a match they were made for.

He wanted to make her understand right away.

Pete reluctantly gave them space, and the room was quiet.After a while, Scarlett's footsteps sounded on the stairs.She stumbled, like sleepwalking, as if she would roll off if she didn't pay attention.Rhett stood up slightly worried.Her hair was combed, and her black mourning dress was buttoned up to her chin, as if she had done it properly enough to be seen.But her expression didn't change, she was still flustered and confused, making one feel that she was still walking barefoot with disheveled hair.Her face was terribly pale, and there was no blood at all. Maybe she forgot to pinch her face, or maybe she couldn't bleed any more, Rhett hoped it was the former.She came down the stairs like a ghost, saw him waiting here, slowly raised her head, and her strangely bright green eyes suddenly slammed into his black pupils—those damn green eyes that drove him crazy There is uncertainty, longing, and the haste of being chased by something.He couldn't see any more, for she let out a yelp that was almost unhuman, and nearly tumbled down the last few flights of stairs.Rhett hugged her tightly, realizing that Scarlett was calling his name in a trance.He was about to ask her what was wrong, but Scarlett raised her head and kissed his lips.

"Kiss me, Rhett." She hooked his neck, so close to him.The green eyes were absent and eager, and the face was pale, as if vulnerable.She felt like a piece of frozen ice to him, and there was a breath of despair all over her body, "Kiss me, please."

If he doesn't kiss her, she will die at this moment.Such an unreasonable thing, but her eyes clearly showed that it was true.She was like a fish thrown ashore out of water, dying.But there is no need to say so much, Rhett has always believed in intuition more than any reason.She kissed him, she wanted him to kiss him—she wanted him to kiss her too.

He felt her breath - her lips.So soft.It took a second or two for his lips to feel her, and then there was a violent frenzy like spinning around.Such fierce love overwhelmed her, the whole being.His two strong, powerful arms had wrapped her around her, exalting her, yielding, weakening, then deepening.He held her close to his body, as if the dizzy and rapidly spinning world had only one support.Shocks of frantic tremors ran through both of them, and his arms shook violently, terribly.But she trembled even more—she seemed to be about to wake up from a dream, her face was flushed, and her eyes were dazed.She opened her eyes wide in pain, two balls of will-o'-the-wisp danced in her green eyes, despair was the last nourishment.

"Rhett—Rhett—" She called out his name feebly, and the man's frantic kiss had extended to her neck—forced her to look up.She is so fanatical and obsessed, but at the same time so docile, it's like a scene that only exists in a dream.But now she's calling him, and Rhett puts his face in, still very, very close to her, making up his mind she'll say some goddamn spoiler and keep kissing her until she passes out—who the hell? Can't care about anything else!He thought viciously, and then felt two limp little hands groping his cheeks.

"You—" Her eyes were still confused, but she gradually had some unbelievable hope in her dullness, she asked softly, "Are you real?"

What is the problem?Rhett thought.Could it be that she felt that she was dreaming, that she kissed him presumptuously in a dream?Thinking of this made her even more unhappy, Rhett lowered his head and kissed her again.Lips and tongues intertwined fiercely, snatching away all the scents, until she couldn't breathe, she could only half-open her eyes longingly—begging him, kissing him back.There was an inaudible sigh between her lips and teeth: "Rett..."

His heart beat uncontrollably.

Never, never, she had never called his name in such an affectionate voice, not even during a false prison visit—Rett restrained herself from wondering if she had any plans, whatever!She wanted to plot—and plotted, he would give her anything, because it was her—Scarlett—that was all he wanted.Her kiss made him excited, puzzled and fanatical. Reason told him that nothing was right, but his intuition insisted on asking him to speak. If he missed this moment, he would definitely regret it in the future.He chose to follow his instincts.

"Marry me, Scarlett," he murmured, with an uncanny peace in his heart, as if he knew she would agree, "because you love me too, as I have loved you for years."

It's all over, he flipped his cards.But Rhett has no regrets—he doesn't need to worry about where the wild and desperate feelings in Scarlett's eyes come from, he just needs to know that she loves him, she definitely loves him, and they must be together.

This is God's will.

Now, God finally heard his voice and came to fulfill his wish.Rhett felt the blood in his veins singing happily.Confusion appeared on Scarlett's face. She put one hand on her forehead and said in a much lower voice than usual, "No, Rhett, it shouldn't be like this."

For a moment, it seemed as if cold water had been poured over his head, but Scarlett's green eyes looked at him, so painfully, so lovingly.

"I should have said it first," she whispered, speaking much faster than before, "I should have asked you. Rhett, would you—would you marry me?"

It's all really incredible - how did it all happen?In that dark afternoon, they kissed again and again, uncontrollably pouring out the love buried deep in their hearts.He kissed all her buttons again and again, and buttoned them again and again for her.They all thought that this was a dream rather than reality, because it was impossible for such a scene to appear in reality.

But it's true.Soon, they will find out.

The author has something to say: There was an update yesterday.

But before the code word, I accidentally read an abusive article, and felt that I had been blackened.

Hope it's not too weird.
