I gave him a sharp nod and he picked up on it right away. He walked over and tapped on my shoulder and cut in.I gave Barbara a helpless shrug and mout...hed, "We'll dance later."I hurried off looking for Jesse but I couldn't find her anywhere. Finally I asked Tom, one of our long time hands and he nodded."Yeah, I think she left with Jeff. He's one of the new hands — I don't think you know him. He thinks he's somewhat of a ladies man!

Her eyes seemed to flash angrily before switching back to a nice, sweet and agreeing gaze which I chose to believe in as I let her continue.It took its time, her head kept bouncing at varying speeds and I kept sighing and groaning. She was probably starting to get frustrated because nothing was happening and she was a busy girl who didn’t really have all this time to waste on me. She was making sounds, “M-m-m-m!” and looking at me with big pleading eyes which was a good representation of her.
