Dakota stayed outside with Secret until the sun was rising. She finished re-braiding Secret's tail for the 7th time before stepping out of the stall and checking her phone. 6am. "Shit" She said, knowing Nate would most likely be up soon. She didn't want him to freak out looking for her, so she locked the stall and walked back to the house

Nathan Croft - Nate woke up, but Dakota wasn't in bed with her. "Dakota?" he called out sitting up. No answer. "Dakota?!" he called again, getting up. He searched around the house, but when he didn't find her, he started panicking. Nate ran outside, finally spotting her. He ran to her enveloping her in a hug.

Dakota was caught off-guard when he hugged her, feeling how tense he was. "Hey." She said quietly. "I didn't mean to worry you" She added after a moment

|
Nathan Croft - Nate breathed out, clearly worried. "Its okay... its okay..."
|
|
|
|

|
"It's alright. I'm fine." She said, kissing his cheek
|

|
Nathan Croft - Nate nodded, just holding onto her. He kissed her cheek back.

Nathan Croft - Nate nodded. "Yeah, just worried..."

Dakota nodded. "Let's go inside." She said, pulling away and taking his hand
