Love at First Sight

It was a dark and stormy night, George returned to the barnyard while tying up the horse back at the barnyard. It was raining cats and dogs and George was all bent out of shape after a hard days work on the barn running like a chicken with its head cut off. On his way out, through the corner of his eye he noticed Curley's wife. She was crying a river. There was a sinking feeling in George's stomach. He's always felt an attraction to Curley's wife. It was love at first sight for George since the first day he laid eyes upon her, but never said anything to anyone; even to Lennie.
George was sweating bullets. "Wha's th' matter?" he muttered.
"Oh, just another fight with Curley." She looked up to George "What's wrong with you, gorgeous? It's almost like you just saw a ghost, or somethin'," proclaimed Curley's wife while wiping away her tears.
George didn't want to say anything at first. It was so quiet you could hear a needle drop. "Okay, I need to tell ya somethin'."
Curey's wife was confused. "My, what can that be?"
George swallowed his spit. "I am madly in love with you since the first day we met!"
Curley's wife was flattered. "Really?! I've felt the same way about you."
Love was in the air. George was elated to upon hearing this.
"I have an idea, lets go far, far away and start a better life together. You never know, maybe the grass is greener on the other side," Curley's wife suggested.
George was all ears to the suggestion and nodded.
The next morning, they untied one of the horses, rode down the path and lived happily ever after.
