Laying To Rest

Laying To Rest
Chapter 3: Scott and Ororo

************************************************************************

Ororo Munroe, the X-woman known as Storm, rose up in a controlled whirlwind and hovered above the garden she took such great care of. She was still in her X-uniform after having spent much of her day in the Danger Room helping Beast test out some new programs. Now she was ready to unwind and her garden was the best place to do that. She always found a soothing calm about nature. Maybe it was because her mutant powers were so closely tied to it, but it had always been there for her when she needed it.

As she hovered gracefully in the air, she used raised her hands and formed small clouds over her plants. With majestic control, she released a gentle rain to nourish them. The warm fragrance of nature inundated and calmed her senses. She smiled as she looked over her collection of common and exotic plants. Her gaze soon fell to a patch of white flowers she was growing specifically for Scott and Jean’s wedding. It was to be her way of celebrating the biggest event to hit the mansion in a long time. But as happy as she was for Scott and Jean, Ororo had mixed feelings about this event.

Ororo had just come off a significant heartbreak. Her relationship with Forge ended abruptly and she was still reeling from it. They had been serious. She thought their love would last. But in the end they faltered. There was love between them, but it was a love that could only go so far. When they reached their limit, it ended. And Ororo had been struggling ever since.

A wedding was the last thing she needed. Even if it was between two of her best friends, it still hurt. Seeing two people so flushed with love only reminded her of her own wounded heart. It didn’t help that Forge was going to be there, but there was no way she was going to skip out on it. She promised her friends she would be there and she wasn’t going back on it no matter how she felt about it.

Ororo let out a deep sigh as she halted the rain and settled down. She would have liked to stay a while longer in her garden, but she was tired and was in need of a break. She left her plants in peace and returned to her room. She planned to take a nap and maybe go for a relaxing flight later on. Eventually she would have to get back to her duties as wedding planner with the others, but if she was going to maintain a happy face through her conflicted state she would need her strength.

Ororo arrived in her vacant room ready to collapse on the bed. She was just about to strip out of her uniform when a sudden knock at her door stopped her.

“Ororo? It’s me,” said Scott, “Are you busy?”

“No, come in, Scott,” said Ororo.

Scott opened the door and entered her room, hiding his anxiety. He had spent the last hour mustering up the will to confront her. He was anxious about what he was about to do, but he was determined to do as he and Jean had agreed upon and lay their unresolved feelings to rest.

“You look tired,” commented Scott as he closed the door, “Is you alright?”

“I’m fine,” said Ororo, “Just a little stressed. I’ve been caught up in a lot lately.”

“No kidding,” said Scott with a light hearted grin, “Hank told me you took three hours out of wedding planning activities to help him in the Danger Room. And Jubilee told me you were helping Piotr set stuff up in the back yard all day.”

“Just doing my part,” she said innocently, “My two best friends are getting married. It’s a big deal.”

“And we appreciate everything you’ve done so far,” said Scott with a smile, “But some are starting to worry that you’re pushing yourself too hard, me being one of them.”

Ororo shifted uncomfortably and turned away. She had hoped nobody would notice her mood. But that wasn’t always possible around close friends. A heavy silence fell over the room. Scott maintained his concerned look and approached the former weather goddess. It looked as though she needed a friend right now.

“Want to talk about it?” he said, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder.

“It’s nothing you should worry about,” said Ororo in a low tone.

“But I do worry,” he told her, “Besides I’m supposed to be the one shouldering all the stress. I’m the guy getting married.”

Ororo cracked a smile at his comment.

“Well you shouldn’t be. I’ve seen you and Jean these past few weeks. You look so happy. I can honestly say I’ve never seen you smile so much before.”

“That doesn’t mean we aren’t nervous,” he retorted.

“I never said you weren’t. And I’m happy you two are getting married. Don’t think for a second I’m not.”

“I know,” said Scott in a reassuring tone, “Then what is it that’s been bothering you so much?”

Ororo sighed and turned back to face her friend. She and Scott had always been close. As co-leaders of the team, they shared a strong bond. There were even times they flirted, but it was never taken very far. They also came to understand one another’s subtleties. Even in their most stubborn mood, they couldn’t hide such distress from each other.

“It’s stupid really,” muttered Ororo.

“Let me be the judge of that. I promise you can tell me anything. I promise,” said Scott in a reassuring tone.

His expression was one of genuine concern. Rather than write it off, she took a deep breath and looked away in a daze. She didn’t confide very often, but she trusted Scott and she had to get this off her chest.

“It’s just that…all this talk of love, commitment, and marriage has been getting to me lately. It’s a constant reminder that I’m single, heart-broken, and miserable.”

“Oh…” said Scott, quickly surmising what she was getting at, “This is about Forge, isn’t it?”

A look of sadness came over the former weather goddess. The mere mention of his name was enough to make the lingering wounds fester.

“Yes,” she said in a morose tone, “I know I should move on, but it’s just so hard. I don’t expect you or anybody to understand.”

“You’re talking to a guy who fell in love with a clone,” said Scott, half serious and half humored, “I understand more than you think.”

Through her sorrow, Ororo managed a smile. As much as it hurt talking about this, Scott did have experience with such feelings. She had even been there for a few of them.

“Guess I can’t put that past you,” she said, “But I’ve never had my heart broken like this before. I thought Forge and I had something really special. I can’t put it into words, but the feeling was there. I thought we could work through the complications, but I guess neither of us was ready.”

“Do you still love him?” asked Scott.

Ororo’s expression fell solemn once more.

“I suppose part of me still has feelings for him,” said the former weather goddess, “I keep trying to tell myself it’s over, but it’s just so hard.”

“I know,” said Scott with a reassuring smile, “Believe me, I know.”

A tear escaped Ororo’s eyes. Scott gently wiped it away and looked at her with unflinching compassion. She was clearly in pain. He knew the feeling all too well. In a show of pent up sorrow, Ororo gently embraced her friend and buried her face in his shoulder. Scott was somewhat surprised by her display, but he her back. She was in need of comfort. She had just as many feelings to work off as he did. For a moment, he let her work off her sorrow. It would give him time to prepare to make his proposal.

“I’m sorry,” she sobbed, pulling away from her friend, “I shouldn’t put this on you before your wedding.”

“It’s okay,” said Scott warmly, “I’d rather hear you out now than see you hurting later.”

“But will it ever stop?” asked Ororo desperately, “Will I ever find anybody else?”

“You’re a goddess, Ororo,” grinned the X-leader, “I’m sure there’s someone out there for you. Take it from a guy who learned the hard way. You just have to step back and take a good long look at the people who really matter. Because sometimes you have what you’re looking for without even knowing it.”

Ororo smiled at his kind words.

“Jean really has made you soft,” she grinned.

“Doesn’t bother me,” shrugged Scott, “Sometimes you have to be to help the people close to you. Plus it’s kind of a side-effect when you’re around a beautiful woman.”

The former weather goddess blushed. Some may call Scott stiff, but he was so much deeper than that. He had gone through a lot of emotional distress in the course of his relationship with Jean and they were both stronger because of it. Maybe one day she’d find that kind of love herself, but right now she had plenty of feelings to get over.

“I just wish there was something I could do to get over this,” she said distantly.

“Is there anything I can do to help?” asked Scott.

“I don’t think so,” sighed Ororo, “Not unless you know some magical way of making these feelings go away.”

Scott shifted somewhat. He wanted to help Ororo, but he wasn’t sure if this idea of his would be appropriate. He came here hoping to help Ororo and work off the lingering attraction he still had for her. Turns out she was dealing with a lot more than he ever could have imagined. But he was still determined to help her. He and Jean wanted to do this and he wouldn’t know if it would truly help Ororo until he asked her.

“There is…one thing that might help,” he said awkwardly, “It’s sort of the other reason I wanted to talk to you. But I…”

“What is it?” said Ororo, cutting him off.

Scott rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly, struggling to put this into the proper words.

“You see…Jean and I had this talk last night and we want to go into our wedding without any doubts. And in order to do that we want to lay certain feelings to rest, but…”

Scott quickly trailed off. He couldn’t even get it out. His face was almost as red as his glasses. If he wasn’t so serious, Ororo would have laughed at his disposition. But he really seemed serious about this.

“Just tell me, Scott,” said Ororo, moving in closer, “I promise I won’t judge.”

“Well…” he stammered, “It’s like this.”

Unable to say it aloud, he leaned in and whispered his idea into Ororo’s ear. As soon as she heard it, her eyes widened with shock. It was wild, radical, and daring in many ways. It was not the kind of promiscuity that she would expect from Scott and Jean. But he seemed serious about it despite his awkwardness. And in a strange way it sounded fitting. She was in need of comfort and he was in need of working through old lust. Naturally though, she hesitated.

“Are…are you sure?” said Ororo, still reeling from the shock.

“We’re sure,” said Scott, “Jean and I have to do this. If we’re going to move ahead in our relationship, we have to leave the past behind.”

Ororo smiled at his logic. In many ways she was trying to do the same. But she never imagined dealing with it through something like this.

“If you don’t want to…” began Scott.

However, Ororo silenced him with a soft finger to his lips.

“No…you’re right,” she said, “It’s important to work this out before your big day. And I think it’s just what I need to help me through this.”

“So…you want to do it?” said Scott, warming to the idea.

“Yes, Scott…and if you doubt me perhaps this will convince you.”

Ororo moved in close to her friend’s body and slipped her arms around his neck. And in a gentle display of affection and lust, she captured his lips in a deep kiss. It took a moment for Scott to process her actions, but it didn’t take long for him to return the feeling. The reservations that lingered quickly melted away in the presence of the beautiful weather goddess and he was soon trailing his hands along her hips in a show of passion and lust.

When the kiss parted, they were still in an embrace and the two long time friends shared a warm smile.

“Okay…I’m convinced,” grinned Scott.

“Wonderful,” smiled Ororo, “Now it’s your turn.”

The choice had been made. They were going to do this. Scott pulled Ororo in closer, hugging her shapely body close to his as he crashed his lips upon hers. No more words were needed and no more doubt lingered. They both needed this and for this one time they planned to make it count.

Their kissing grew more intense as tongues wrestled and lust flowed freely. The desire for each others’ flesh intensified as Scott’s pants tightened and Ororo felt a strong heat between her legs. They started making their way over to the bed, removing clothes in the process. The tight fitting white top to Ororo’s X-uniform was the first to go. Scott followed suit, removing his shirt and attacking her exposed breasts with his lips. Her mocha colored breasts were large and nicely shaped. They offered a unique taste as he became drunk with lust.

“Oh Goddess…” gasped Ororo as hot sensations inundated her being.

It had been a while for her. Ever since her breakup with Forge she had endured a long dearth of intimacy. It felt good to be touched and Scott knew how to get a woman going. While he licked her breasts and sucked her tits, they reached the side of her bed. But before they got there, she undid her white pants and started slipping out of them. They were skin tight like all the X-men uniforms so it was difficult to get out of, but Scott helped her by giving them a firm tug. Once they were completely off, Ororo was only in a pair of black panties.

“Wow…” said Scott, amazed by the sight of a half naked Storm.

“You look surprised,” said Ororo in a humored tone.

“I always knew you were beautiful,” he said with a husky grin, “I just had no idea you were so sexy.”

The weather goddess blushed. She rarely showed her sultry side, but in reality she was a very sexual woman. She had always enjoyed the intimate pleasures of the sex act and being deprived of them caused undue tension that she yearned to let out. And with Scott, she yearned to let them out.

The bulge in his pants throbbed at her sensual tone. She sat on the bed in only her underwear with a look of sexual intent on her face. Drunk with lust, Scott joined her and their bodies tumbled onto the bed in a wave of wet kisses. Ororo took the initiative, pinning Scott on his back while she hovered on top of him. She let him explore her exposed flesh, grasping her butt and feeling up her womanly curves. She also did some exploring herself, admiring Scott’s well cut upper body and feeling her way around his hard muscles.

The need between them was growing. Scott wanted her and Ororo wanted him. They were flushed with lust, craving the pleasures of the flesh. Ororo’s hunger grew and she started kissing down Scott’s upper body. He leaned back, moaning at the soft trail of her lips. She highlighted every chiseled muscle along the way until she reached the bulge in his pants. Flashing him a sultry grin, she undid his pants and gave them a firm tug.

“Let’s get these off,” she said in a seductive tone.

Scott adjusted himself so she could get them off. She removed everything, including his boxers. Now Scott was completely naked, his cock stiff with arousal. Ororo smiled and gently stroked his member, getting a strong response from the naked man before her.

“Oh yeah…” moaned Scott.

“Mmm…so hard,” purred the former weather goddess.

She ran her hand up along his shaft in a few firm strokes. Scott relaxed to the feeling, enjoying the sensations that followed. Then she started licking around the tip, slowly took in the length of his member. Ororo let her lust drive her and started working his cock in her mouth.

“Oh that feels good!” grunted Scott, throwing his head back at the intense sensation.

Ororo moaned at his approving words. She bobbed her head up and down his erect penis, licking and sucking his nicely sized dick. She ran her tongue up the underside of his shaft while firmly grasping the base. The erotic slurping sounds of her sucking filled the room and Scott enjoyed every blissful sensation. He closed his eyes and moaned in contentment, running his hands through her elegant white hair. She was getting so wet. Her pussy beckoned to be filled. Her legs rubbed together as the arousal intensified. Soon it became too much for her to bear.

“Mmm…” she moaned, giving his cock one last tease, “I’m so hot.”

“I can see that,” said Scott in a husky voice.

She smiled at his manly words and crawled back on top of him where they met in another deep kiss. Scott slipped his hands down to her hips, feeling between her legs and rubbing along her inner thighs. She was so wet and aroused. Her panties were officially a burden. He grasped the sides of her only remaining garment and slid it down her thighs. Ororo adjusted herself slightly so she could get it off. Once it was completely off, Scott tossed it aside and took in the sight.

Ororo Munroe was a beautiful woman, but she looked even better naked. Her ebony skin and voluptuous curves made her ever bit as divine as she was back in Africa. Scott also noticed the small crown of hair just over the folds of her pussy was white just like her hair. He couldn’t help but smile, feeling so lucky to share this moment with a good friend who just happened to have such exotic allure.

“Let’s do this,” said Ororo.

“Lead the way, Storm,” said Scott as he caressed her elegant face.

Flashing Scott a sultry glance, Ororo straddled his pelvis and positioned herself over his cock. His hands remained firmly on her hips as she slowly lowered herself onto his cock. The folds of her pussy were so wet with arousal. It had been too long since she had been filled by a man. Still holding the base of his shaft, she slowly lowered herself onto his dick.

“Ohhhhh Goddess! I missed this!” she panted as she felt her walls stretched by Scott’s member.

“Damn you’re tight!” grunted Scott, “It really has been a while.”

“Oh yes! But not anymore!”

Ororo fell into a daze of lust and started riding Scott’s ridged cock to her delight. Breathing turned to panting as she dug her hands into his rough, six-pack abs and moved her hips at a fervent pace. Her hips gyrated against his naked flesh, working his cock inside her tight folds. She was graceful and elegant. It was like she was dancing atop him. Scott was soon taken by this woman’s beautiful expression of lust. He began matching her movements with upward thrusts of his own.

“Uh-uh-uh-uh-oh Goddess! Uh-uh-oh goddess!” cried Ororo.

“Uh-uh-Ororo-uh-oh fuck!” moaned Scott, “So-uh-so amazing!”

The pace of their fucking quickly intensified. Ororo gyrated her hips with greater ferocity, holding onto Scott’s torso as she rode out the intense pleasure. Scott helped her work it, pushing and pulling her hips along with every thrust. His cock thrashed inside her, hitting the areas that hadn’t been hit in a long time. Sweat consumed their bodies. Scott’s muscles glistened with perspiration, adding to the erotic feel of the moment. Ororo ran her hands along his chest, savoring the hot feeling. She let it all go and indulged in the wondrous pleasures sex had to offer.

Scott and Ororo didn’t drag it. Ororo craved her climax. She worked her hips harder, closing her eyes and panting hard as her orgasm drew near. It had been too long and she didn’t want to wait. Scott could tell she needed it and he was more than happy to oblige her. He could feel her insides contorting, showing that she was near her release. He thrust into her hard, stimulating every area he could find. He didn’t know her body as well as he knew Jean’s, but he knew enough to send her to the brink.

“UH-UH-OH I’M CUMMING! I’M CUMMING! OH GODDESS!” she cried.

“Uh-uh-then do it, Ororo! You deserve it!” grunted Scott, gripping her hips hard and thrusting into her wet cunt.

Ororo leaned over and captured Scott’s lips as she rode his cock hard. Scott slid his hands up her sweaty body, holding onto her as she neared her peak. After a few more movements along his hard length, she finally felt it.

“OHHHHHHHHHH GODESS!” she cried, closing her eyes and throwing her head back in delight.

“Oh fuck!” grunted Scott, feeling her cunt tighten around his hard dick.

It was the release she craved. Her body arched and her insides tensed as waves of pleasure surged through her body. So much yearning had built up in the long time since her last release. It felt really good to finally get it out of her system.

When the sensations waned, Ororo needed a moment to catch her breath. She was now covered in a light layer of sweat, some of which was Scott’s. She gazed into his shrouded eyes with lustful content. If this is what Jean felt on a regular basis then she had little doubt their marriage would have few intimacy problems.

“That was…wonderful,” she gasped, caressing Scott’s cheek and smiling in a content daze.

“Glad you enjoyed it,” said Scott as he traced his hands along her womanly curves.

“Mmm…you’re a good man, Cyclops,” said the goddess with a sultry purr, “But you deserve to enjoy it as well.”

Ororo didn’t give herself a lot of time to recover. Scott didn’t get his climax and she was obligated to return the favor. They kissed and touched each other in a renewed daze of lust. Ororo rolled to her side, running her hands down his manly upper body while he fondled her breasts. His dick was still rock hard and in need of a release. Never one to leave a friend hanging, Ororo pulled him on top of her for another round.

“Oh yeah! Oh fuck yeah!” moaned Scott, “Oh that’s so good!”

Ororo was now flat on her back with Scott on his knees, grasping her lower thighs and holding her legs open while he thrust into her. The former weather goddess watched his face contort in delight as worked his cock inside her pussy. She moaned as well, fondling one of her breasts while rubbing her clit. Scott soon found that Ororo liked it a little rougher than Jean. It was a little surprising given her calm, collected nature, but he didn’t argue with her body and fucked her hard.

Scott rhythmically pounded into the African beauty’s pussy, grunting with each movement of his hips. Ororo’s entire body was rocked every time he thrust into her, making her large breasts bounce to the rhythm in an erotic dance. She moaned and panted with him, arching her body hard every time his cock slammed into her. He kept at it until he was near his climax. When he felt it coming, he leaned over and propped himself on his arms while he rhythmically plowed into her tight cunt. He was almost there. The warm gaze of the beautiful goddess was nothing short of enchanting. She reached up and fondled his face while holding her legs apart, allowing him to penetrate deep.

“UH-UH-UH-OH GOD! I’M CUMMING! OH I’M GONNA CUM!” grunted Scott.

“Uh-uh-that’s it, Scott! Uh-that’s it! Harder! Do it harder! Fill me up!” panted Ororo.

Scott’s thrusting slowed as his cock twitched inside her tight folds. He closed his eyes and grasped the sheets in hard fists. And with one final thrust into the African goddess, his dick exploded in a burst of cum.

“OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YEAH!” he moaned, the intense release filling his mind and body with pleasure.

With a content sigh, Scott collapsed atop the naked Ororo. She grinned playfully and rubbed around the sweaty back muscles of his upper body. All the tension and stress she had labored over melted away in a profound moment of lust and affection. Scott Summers was a very special man and such an experience was a true wonder.

“I didn’t know you liked it rough, Ororo,” grinned Scott as he caught his breath.

“A woman has her tastes,” she replied in a playful tone.

“I can’t imagine Forge keeping up with this regularly.”

“Some men can. Some men can’t,” she shrugged, “But let’s just say he got the job done.”

Scott laughed and captured her lips again. He had no idea Ororo was into sex this much. He almost pitied Forge, but that was the last thing on his mind. This was only a one time thing, so they wanted to make it count.

“Ready for more?” said Ororo in a sultry tone.

“Already?” said Scott in a husky tone.

“You’re the one who said you wanted to work off your feelings. So it’s my job to make sure you have no more doubts.”

“Then by all means,” grinned Scott.

Scott and Ororo laughed playfully as their romp continued. They rolled around on the bed, kissing and groping each others’ sweaty bodies. Ororo hitch a leg around his waist and grinded her naked skin against his. Then Scott slipped a hand between her slick folds, thrusting to fingers into her wet pussy and filling her with arousal. Soon, his cock stiffened up again and they were ready for more sex.

The playful spirit soon evolved into all out fucking. Scott and Ororo unleashed their lust, going at it without reserve or regret. They had sex in a wave of new positions. They started off with Ororo on her hands and knees gripping the sheets while Scott thrust into her from behind. Then Scott pinned her on her stomach and plowed into her while pulling her hair back and slipping his finger into her mouth, which she eagerly sucked. Then he flipped her over and hitched both legs over his shoulders while rhythmically plowing into her. After that Ororo got on top and rode him while facing away, propping herself up by her hands and feet. It was sheer indulgence as they drowned in lustful pleasure. Scott pushed himself to match Ororo’s rough tastes, making sure she got the pleasure she deserved. And together, they dragged it out and enjoyed every second of it.

For the final round, Scott and Ororo both sat upright with Ororo’s arms and legs wrapped around his body while Scott gripped her firm ass and worked their bodies in a fervent rhythm. Her sweaty skin rubbing against his each time her body bounced up and down his cock. Scott guided her with every movement as he thrust into her hard for the final push. They were both nearing their peak. It was intense, rough, and passionate. All they needed to cap it off was a few more thrusts.

“UH-UH-UH-OH SCOTT! SO-UH-SO STRONG! YES! OH YES! I-I-I’M GOING TO CUM!” cried Ororo, tightening her hold on Scott.

“UH-UH-ME-UH-TOO! OH FUCK! OH STORM!” grunted Scott, holding on tight for the final push.

They stepped up the pace. Ororo forced her body down onto Scott’s cock with greater force, feeling him penetrate her to her greatest depths. Scott closed his eyes and gasped hard. He wanted to hold out for her, but she was such an energetic lover. He was going to cum and he couldn’t hold it back. Thankfully, Ororo finally reached her peak and in one final motion she threw her head back and let the rush overtake her.

“OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH GODDESS!” she cried in delight.

“OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YEAH!” grunted Scott as his body gave out to the ecstasy.

Ororo’s tight pussy clamped down on Scott’s cock, releasing waves of pleasure up through the sweaty body of the African goddess. The tight feeling pushed Scott’s climax as well as his ridged member shot a load of cum into he depths. It was an intense experience. They both enjoyed every moment of euphoria. And when the feeling subsided, they capped it off with one last kiss.

Ororo missed this feeling. She had almost forgotten how wonderful sex could be. It made her feel so happy and content. It was just what she needed to help mend the lingering pain of her breakup with Forge. Scott enjoyed it as well. He was glad to let himself go for once before his wedding. It came as a great relief, letting out his pent up feelings. And with his wedding drawing ever closer, it was important he had no further doubts.

“Oh God…” moaned Scott as he and Ororo collapsed onto her bed.

“Mmm…I needed that,” purred Ororo, still catching her breath, “Thank you, Scott.”

“No…thank you,” he smiled, giving her a soft kiss on the forehead.

The two X-leaders shared a tender moment. They had helped each other, supported each other, and fought alongside each other. This experience was special. It was sure to be remembered for a long time. And for this wonderful feeling, they were grateful.

“Jean’s a lucky woman,” said Ororo, “If that’s how you satisfy her regularly then let her know she has my undying envy.”

“I’ll relay the message,” laughed Scott as he slipped off the bed and gathered his clothes, “Are you going to be alright, Ororo?”

“I will be now,” she said with a smile, “I still have some feelings to get over, but I’ll make it through. You don’t have to worry.”

“I know you will,” said Scott as he slipped on his pants and grabbed his shirt, “Just remember, you’re a great woman, Storm. I’m sure one day you’ll find someone you can love with all your heart and who can handle you at the same time.”

“I hope you’re right,” she sighed.

“And never forget…sometimes it’s closer than you think.”

With those words in mind, Scott left Ororo to rest. He felt good about this experience. Getting this out of his system was just what he needed to move forward so he could be with Jean and never be left wondering. But it wasn’t over yet. There was still time before the wedding. And with this first round out of the way, the last few seemed nowhere near as daunting.

For Ororo, however, she had more on her mind. As she lay naked in her bed, she thought back to her relationship with Forge and how it ended. The hurt still lingered, but she felt ready to move on. Her thoughts drifted back to Scott’s words about love. Hopefully she’d find the same happiness he found with Jean. That special someone was out there. He may be a long ways off or he may be in her midst. Whatever the case may be, she was ready to face it with an open heart.
