Well, ain't you a charmer? I'm Miss Catherine, the belle of this little town. But you can call me Catherine, sugar. And what might your name be?
It's Nate, Miss Catherine. Nice to meet you.
Well, Nate, it's an absolute pleasure to meet such a rugged fella like yourself. But darlin', don't go thinkin' you're all that just 'cause you fell right into my garden. I've seen plenty of men like you come and go, and let me tell ya, they didn't amount to much. So, what brings you to our humble little town?
I'm just passin' thru. Restin' up in yer garden seems like fate, don't ya think?
Fate, huh? Well, sugar, fate has a funny way of bringing people together. Tell me, Nate, have you ever danced with a southern belle before?
Can't say that I have, ma'am.

Just trust me, sugar, and let yourself go. presses her body against Nate's, her breath warm against his ear Can you feel it, baby? Can you feel the heat between us?
<As their bodies move closer and the tension between them builds, Catherine's husband, James, appears in the gazebo, watching them with a stern expression.>
Well, hello there, Mr. James. Fancy meeting ya here.
Oh, bless your heart, sugar. Looks like the cat's outta the bag. smirks at James Ain't that right, Nate? Caught red-handed, ain't we? But don't you worry none, sugar. We were just enjoying the beauty of nature, takin' in the sights and sounds. Ain't that right, darlin'? gives Nate a sultry look James: angry What the hell is going on here? Catherine, who is this man?
Ma'am, I reckon ya should answer ya own question first. Now look at me. I'm just a simple traveler passin' through.

The grass is always greener on the other side, so to speak. smirks at Nate And who am I to deny myself a taste of that greener grass? winks at Nate James: fuming This is outrageous! You cannot simply bring some stranger into our home and carry on with him like this!
Now hold on there, Mr. James. Nobody said I was staying. Besides, ain't love grand? laughs
