Cass and Frankie 1990--You Have Somebody Who Really Loves You Now

Guaranteed to make you melt! Frankie wonders why she didn't tell Cass about the bid. It was wrong, and it was stupid; she would have had to tell him eventually if anything happened, which she doubts it will because the bid was so low. Cass tells Frankie that he knows why she didn't tell him: it's because she isn't used to getting loving support from someone. Frankie admits that she's not used to that. Cass holds her as he muses that Frankie has been swimming upstream her whole life, bucking Emma's disapproval, and the people in the small town she grew up in weren't exactly what you'd call open-minded. Frankie agrees that Mama has not been an overt supporter, and the minds of the townsfolk shut down at the county line. Cass continues that Frankie told that little world to go to hell and reinvented herself. Yes, Frankie agrees again, she did. She had to. Cass tells her that those days are over: "You have somebody who really loves you now. So no more reinventing, okay?"

"Okay," Frankie replies.

"It's you and me, kid," Cass says. "I'm gonna back you in whatever you want, so get used to that."

"Whatever I want?" Frankie asks, love and light shining in her eyes as she looks at Cass.

"Uh oh," Cass says with a laugh. But then he gets serious again: "Yeah, anything and everything," he promises.

Frankie asks Cass what he would think if she turned the barn behind the house into a spiritual retreat. Cass replies that zoning laws prohibit ashrams within a five-mile radius... Frankie tells him to go ahead and laugh, she doesn't care. But they are interrupted when the phone rings. Frankie answers it. It's the realtor. When she hangs up, she lays her head on Cass's chest and tells him that someone outbid her and they lost the house. Cass's reaction is to smile. Notice the realtor did not say WHO outbid Frankie. :-D
