Abby gulped, opening and closing her mouth as if she was going to say something. She couldn't get the words out. Instead, she threw her arms around Tyler and let the few tears that were forming while he talked slide down her cheek. Titan snorted softly and bumped the stall door with his muzzle. Grace stood calmly which was completely against her normal self

Tyler felt his heart break... again. -I'm going to have a heart made of shattered glass if this goes on- he thought wryly, wrapping his strong arms around Abby and holding her tight. "I'm so sorry, Abby." He said quietly, his head bowed down

Abby sniffles and wiped her tears away "I will not be a cry baby" she said, trying to act strong. "I can't have him know, or even not know, that he made me cry. That used to be his fuel." Her voice got quieter and quieter as she spoke. She kissed his cheek and laid her head on his shoulder. She couldn't take it anymore. She couldn't. She just couldn't.

"I won't let him know. It's okay right now, and it will be okay later. He can't come here." Tyler whispered, not really caring about his now very black eye. -That man's head is HARD- Tyler thought with a slightly concerned look mostly at himself, tightening his grip on Abby slightly. He wasn't going to let that... thing... get to her

Abby have a weak smile "thank you" she whispered. "Oh! Did you see me on Grace?" She asked, slowly making her way back into her old spirits again

Tyler mentally sagged in thankfulness as Abby asked her question. "You are welcome... and no, I didn't." He said quietly, his black gaze trailing out to where the man had stood in the woods. A slight shudder ran through Tyler's body at the thought of it, making his eyes glint angrily

"Then maybe I can try it again" she said as she wiggled out of his grasp. She slowly pulled herself onto the tall filly and stroked her neck, keeping her calm. "She must be growing out of her wildness" Abby thought out loud

Oh yeah, at this point you would have to wiggle out of Tyler's grasp XD. Oops.))

Tyler let go as Abby started wiggling away, ready to watch her ride Grace Cloud. "Must be." He repeated quietly, leaning up against the stall door and still looking a little worried. His brow creased and worry lines that Abby probably hadn't seen before appeared on his face.

Lol)

Abby leaned and pulled on the end of the rope, making it come untied. She pulled the fillies face towards her and tied it to the other side of her halter. She pulled the "reins" over her head and took a deep breath. "We're gunna see how she does with RIDING. Last time, I just put my weight on her. We're going to see. Be ready" she warned before giving Grace slight pressure with her leg. The filly calmly stepped away from the pressure, doing a beautiful side pass. "That's not what I was expecting" she whispered. "She may be a dressage pony" she said, looking up at Tyler and noticing the worry lines. "Don't be so worrisome " Abby said with a shake of her head. Grace seemed to return to her playful self when she nipped at Tyler's pockets

The look of worry turned into concern as Abby decided to actually ride the filly. Well, not like Tyler could stop her. He just stayed quiet and ready to get in there if she needed help, the horse or the rider. Though, at the way Grace Cloud behaved, he was surprised. "That was good." Tyler commented. At Abby's last comment he sighed slightly. "I'm sorry, I just worry too much." He replied with a glance out of the barn
