Lennie was in the stable and he had just killed his pup so he was hidding it and she walked in and started talking to him. They talked for a while about Curley and then she said something about her hair being really soft and she put Lennie's hand on her head to feel it. George then started rubbing her head and when she asked him to let go he didn't and she started to yell but Lennie shook her and tried to tell her to be quiet but in the end he accidentally broke her neck by shaking her (which killed her).
