"It would be comfortable. Lay blankets over the hay and walla. Way more comfortable than a wooden floor, which was my dwelling for like, ever, soo." Ryker commented before Abby said her next sentence. "Well that seems to be why I'm here." He snorted with amusement, starting to take a step forward before she was yelping and jumping on the grass. "Good thing I have these things called shoes, and these amazing things called pants. Makes running on rocks rather easy." Ryker smiled, scooping her up in his arms for like the 80th time that day/night and carrying her to the barn. "Your shoes are in here so you can climb the ladder. That's one thing I am NOT doing for you." He joked with a chuckle, putting her down and turning back out. "I'll go get a blanket or two, but we should use horse blankets to lay over the hay. They are thicker and will keep the hay from stabbing us while we sleep."

She nodded and giggled and smiled and everything imaginable. She had one question though... " but do I sleep in my clothes or in some clothes in the house that might be salvageable and more comfortable- aka PAJAMAS?" She grinned. "Thank you for saving my feet though!"

"My goodness child, I'll get you pajamas, give me a moment." Ryker snorted sarcastically, jogging to the partially burnt house and grabbing two blankets, pajamas, and a shirt and pants for him- no way was he sleeping in a suit, yuck, and his clothing in the tackroom was a little too dirty to sleep in. He then walked back and handed her her clothing and a blanket.

(He never put the ring on her finger 😭)

Abby grabbed the clothes when he came back, a smile on her face. She hummed a song as she changed in the tack room. "Dear Future Husband, here's a few things you need to know if you wanna be my one and only all my life" she bounced around, stepping out of the tack room when she was done. She hung her dress on a stall and climbed into the loft to fix some of the blankets

(Nuuu I'll fix that)

Ryker waited for Abby to change then went in and quickly scrambled out of the suit, then put on the soft pants that weren't jeans (somehow) and a grey t shirt. He came out and slowly climbed the ladder before plopping down next to Abby and grabbing her hand. "I forgot something." He pulled out a ring and slid it on her finger. "There! Much better." Ryker grinned. The ring was a gemstone with (insert Abby's favorite color) and a shiny silver band. On the inside three words were etched *I love you*. "I really hope you like it."

Abby raised her eyebrows when he grabbed her hand +ooooh+ she thought as he pulled out an emerald ring "oh it's gorgeous!" She "I love you too!" She said as she read the inside of the ring. she scooted closer to Ryker until she was right up against him. She held out her hand and stared at the ring. "So pretty" she whispered, turning to look at him. She kissed him, placing her hands on his neck

(Edit last post- EMERALDSSSS)

Ryker smiled, with a little relief, as Abby said she liked the ring. It had taken him forever to find the right one. "I'm glad you like it." He said quietly, looking at the ring before reciprocating the kiss, closing his eyes for a moment. "Broken record time.. I'm so so so glad I met you." He mumbled, breathing in slowly.

Abby smiled. "And I am SOOOOOOOOO glad I met YOU!" She leaned against him, breathing in his scent. He smelled like horses, but the slight tinge of smoke came from his shirt. "We're gunna have to DEEP clean every salvageable thing in that house. It all smells like smoke!" She wrapped her arms around him, resting her head against his chest

Ryker smiled a little, drowsiness starting to trickle over him until Abby said the words *deep clean*. He then wrinkled his eyebrows slightly and looked at her. "I may have to *disappear* again when it comes to that." He snorted slightly. "And I like the faint smell of smoke!" Ryker added with a small grin.

Abby giggled "be nice!" She demanded with a smirk. Abby curled up against him, deciding she needed the blanket. She sat up and pulled the blanket over herself. She sighed and tossed half of the blanket over Ryker. "Wether you think you need it or not, your getting it" she tucked it around him then curled up under the rest of the blanket, using his body heat to warm up
