After seeing Melody Yoody off, Alice Brown started the car again. She didn't ask John Brown where he was headed, just drove slowly, barely reaching twenty miles per hour, while frequently checking the rearview mirror to look at James Brown sitting in the back.
Today, Jennifer Hog had a few drinks, and now, emboldened by the alcohol, she unfastened her seatbelt and moved from the front seat to the back, sitting next to James Brown. She bit her lip, looked at him enticingly, and said, "Mr. Smith, I... I..." before falling into his arms.
James Brown rubbed his nose, fully aware of what Jennifer Hog wanted, just as he understood the feelings both women had for him. He didn't believe their advances were simply desperate actions or attempts to be with him for a particular purpose.
