"Feel right aroun' there an' see how soft it is."

Lennie reached his hand up until moments flashed before his eyes

"HELP! HELP!" the woman in the red dress cried.

George was screaming his lungs off tearing at him, "LET GO LENNIE! GOD DAMN IT!"

Lennie panicked and held on tighter to her dress. She cried out as her tears swelled up. George, thinking quick, grabbed the fence post nearby and slammed him with it .

"LENNIE SMALL! LET GO RIGHT NOW!" he raged.

Lennie let go finally crying as George quickly picked him up and they ran off for their lives.

Lennie pulled his hand back and panicked. Curley's wife looked at him, "S'matter?"

"N-Nothin'..."

She sighed, "Won't even take up an offer simple as that..."

"No! No!" Lennie finally listened and replied, "l-last time I went close to a woman I accidentally ripped her dress off!"

Curley's wife looked at him and comprehended, "Oh...why that's mighty sweet of you..."

She kissed his cheek and Lennie pulled back.

"LENNIE!" George cried out from outside the barn.

"I gotta go." Lennie scuffled out of the barn quickly.
