The Book and the Lady - Secret Unknown Scene from Mice and Men

George stepped out under the evening sky and began to jog as he headed to the bunk house. It was dinner time and if he didn't hurry, the other men would devour his meal. He rushed toward his bed and started searching for the book "All's fair in love and war" Crooks had lent him. The men had a quarrel about the characters in the novel so he thought he would solve it once and for all. The feeling of someone watching, while searching his bunk, made George turn towards the door.  She stood there once again, dressed in all nines, meeting his gaze; eyes as bright as the sun with a slight smirk on her face. She was as beautiful as the day was long, and it was hard not to stare. It was like she caught him with his pants down. "Cat got your tongue?" There’s that beautiful smile again. George cleared his throat. "Ahem…Can I do something for ya miss?" She whispered, "Ask me no questions tell me no lies." God she is sure a puzzle, George thought to himself. "I never asked you no questions ma'am." "I know silly," she giggled "it's a line from that book yous guys are readin." He thought for a moment, "Oh- well umm, yes, that's right." George hoped he wasn’t as red as a tomato for supposin such things. "But I better get back; don't want my food to get cold." Really George was just looking for a way out and didn't want to upset Curley's wife and makin her think that he was scared of talkin to her. "Nothing ventured, nothing gained I guess." There she goes again. "Yeah well, see ya around miss." Side stepping though the door trying to avoid her intense stare, George trots back to where the guys were avoiding the questions as to why it took so long to grab that measly book. Sat in silence, George finished the rest of his meal caught up in his own thoughts to notice the elephant in the room, Curley's wife, sitting in the corner all alone like a troubled child.
