Tad did quite probably the only thing that could surprise a woman looking as sexy as Carmela was managing.  Tad kept eye contact with her, his own brown eyes dancing with mirth.  He did manage to enjoy the show quite a bit, though he never bought into it for a second, well fully at least.<br/><br/><b>"You keep lookin like that, Ma'am and a guy's likely to get funny ideas about your intentions"</b><br/><br/>He grinned and took another sip of his brandy.  Then got a much more serious look on his face.  He wasn't sure how often a woman like that had met a man like him, but there was always time for firsts.  He sipped his brandy again and watched as the obvious city kid entered the bar, talking loudly about whatever was ailing him.  Tad found city folk to be too loud too often.  Eh waved good-bye to Natalie as she left for the afternoon, he really should get back to the Plantation as well.  he glanced at his watch, then whistled.  He guessed he had already been volunteered for the 'job.'<br/><br/><b>"Sure, enough.  Plenty of rooms on the plantation.  I'll let you pick which one you want when we get out there.  But, it had better be pretty soon,  gotta pay the help in an hour."</b><br/><br/>Hen offered Carmela a hand as he picked up his jacket.  Then led the way to his old truck.
