**I AM SO TOTALLY OVER THIS LOGIN-LOGOUT THING**
*He sighed heavily.* "Suffice it to say that your pretty-boy friend attempted to take you against your will, I stopped him by punching him, and then you yelled at me." *He said simply.*

Oh, my God. *She sank down onto one of the tack trunks, her eyes huge.* I...I'm so sorry, I don't...I'd never tried alocohol before and I guess it got out of hand and...I'm sorry. *She looked up at him.* Who...who was it?

**MIKE**
"Jacob." *He spat the name as if it were something disgusting.*

Jacob? Are you sure? *She looked quite taken aback.* Tall, blonde hair, gray eyes?

*He nodded, a scowl on his face at thinking of the boy.*
"Pompus and entitled attitude? Womanizer? Yes, that one."

I never would have thought that he... He seemed so... *She stopped and looked away, biting her lip. When she looked back up at him, she was blushing, her eyes slowly filling with tears.* You must think I'm so...stupid.

*He shook his head.*
"I don't think you're stupid. I think that you made what was quite possibly the most idiotic decision ever."

I think you're probably right about that. *She sighed.* What did he say?

"He said he'd make me pay; the usual response to being bested. I'm not worried about myself--I'm worried now that he'll twist the story to make you into some kind of harlot."

*A bit of her usual fire came back into her eyes.* Don't worry. I can take care of myself...and I can certainly take care of him.

*He chuckled a little.*
"There's the Scarlett I recognize."

*She managed a slight smile.* I can probably talk him down from this battery thing. I think.

*He shrugged.*
"You've got a better backup story than he does, and nobody wants to ruffle the de Winters' feathers--they're big around here, as I understand it. He'll do himself no favors by accusing their stablemaster of battery and their goddaughter of coquetry."

That's true. *She got to her feet with a sigh.* I'll probably see him tonight, we're usually at the same parties.

"No drinking." *He warned gently.* "You're a lightweight." *It was almost teasing but still seriously a warning.*
