[ WP ] Someone breaks into your house and says , `` You 're my favorite character in the book ! I ca n't let it end the way it did . I 'm going to help you . ''

Scarlet wrinkled her nose at the stranger standing in her doorway. The woman was scandalously dressed. She wore tight pants made out of some kind of denim - like the miners in the territories Rhett had once spoken of. And a thin tight shirt with some kind of writing on it. 
 
 Scarlet wrapped her robe tightly over her nightgown, folding her arms against her body. Would Mammy hear her if she screamed? `` How did you get into my house?'' she demanded as imperiously as she could. 
 
 `` That does n't matter, you have to listen to me,'' the crazy person rambled. `` I'm only going to be able to stay for a moment. Look, Rhett loves you. You love him. I know you say mean things to each other, but you're just being defensive.'' 
 
 The crazy woman began to fade- some sort of apparition, but she continued to speak. `` He's going to say something cruel and nasty when you tell him about the baby.'' Scarlet touched her stomach reflectively. 
 
 `` He does n't mean it- do n't take the bait- I just ca n't stand to watch it again.'' 
 
 The woman was gone now- only her final haunting whisper hung in the air, `` do n't fall down the stairs this time....'' 
 
 
 Man- ca n't tell you how many times I wanted to do that in high school. ( not going to be apologist- I fully acknowledge it's a racist book, but what a love story )
