she looked at him "ok..?" she sat patiently, watching the clock, then looking down at her drawings, blending extra here and there. she decorated her faded arm drawing with extra dots and flowers where she could fit one. she turned and grabbed Tyler's hand, drawing a tiny tulip on the back of his hand

Tyler glanced at Abby. Aaaand she was bored again. Maybe he should have just made her more confused. He sighed as she drew a flower on his hand. Tyler hoped and prayed he could wash it off someday. He leaned his head back against the wall and stared up at the ceiling

she looked down at her pen masterpeice. she looked up at him. he looked distressed. -is it me...?- she gulped. -welp- she dropped her eyes to her outfit: a white tanktop and blue jean shorts

Tyler continued staring out the window... though his gaze was blank and far off. He was thinking... very hard.

she looked at him again and got up off the bed. "i'm going to go talk to Titan" she walked out of the cabin and managed to make it to Titan's stall and open the door. she sighed and latched it before tapping Titan's leg. he lifted it and Abby pushed herself up onto his back. "feels good, don't it boy" she whispered to him, his ears flicking back as he listned to her voice

Tyler glanced at Abby. He looked... worried. "Okay... be careful..." he said quietly, his brows furrowing. Tyler watched Abby walk out

Abby loved on her horse when she heard movement outside "who's there?" she asked, a little worried. "it's me, Josh" he said as he looked into the stall. Abby breathed a sigh of relief. Josh chuckled "am i that scary?" she smiled "when you're creeping around the barn like that, yeah" the two were friends for a long time before he got the job as stable hand. her father kept pressing that she get together with him, for Josh was a sweet, kind-hearted individual, but when Abby had refused, he became even more abusive.

Tyler's worry finally got the best of him, and he stood up, striding towards the barn silently. He entered, stopping when he saw Abby talking to Josh. -well that means she is okay- Tyler thought, backing out so Josh couldn't see him. He stood outside the barn and watched the grass wave in the wind, his tall frame just a shadow in the moonlight

Josh gave his normal goofy grin and turned, calling over his shoulder "i'll let you mess with Titan" "mhm" she answered. Josh walked towards the back of the barn where his favorite horse, Morgan's Matilda, a light grey stallion with pale grey dapples,was stalled. he was the second fastest barrel racing stallion in the world, only half a second slower than Titanium

When Tyler heard Josh walk away he entered the barn like he had just came. "Hello Abby, how's Titan?" Tyler asked, patting the horses neck and glancing at West, who was hanging his head over the stall door.
