At dinner one night I was waiting on everyone, and that's when he got down on one knee and proposed.  He didn't say anything else just said will you marry me; it was almost like he forgot her name.  Infact I've never heard him say her name.  She said yes despite the facet she didn't love him.

I got whipped again later that night.  I don't know what happened.  Jelousy got the best of me and when he was about to leave i brought him behind the barn.  I punched him in the face, kicked him in the balls, dropped kicked him in the gut.  I did everything i could to make sure that boy never showed his face around again.  I guess it didn't work though

The next day he came without anybody Carolina and I were in the barn talking about what would happen next.  She told me "If i ever did marry him I would probably sneek here everyday to see you."  I smiled.  Oh boy did I Love it when we just sat there and talked.  Until he barged in in saw us everything was fine.

He yelled at her.  He yelled "The slave, why him i'm you fiance.  How dare you do this to me"

She screamed "Do you even know my name, why do you even like me.  You know nothign about me."

It suddenly got quiet "Susan you know I love you."

"My name is not Susan" Things got louder.

It was my turn to defend her. "Her name is Carolina, and she doen't love you and i know you certainly don't love her."
