He should tell her about the shirt to bring her spirits back. You'll see what I mean lol))

Abby knew he was playing but deep down, that innocent little girl that was abused by the first man she trusted pulled on every little string she could find. She was too sensitive. Abby nodded "I know" was all she said. She just wanted to be there, in Tyler's arms, for the rest of her life. She knew for a face that she would always be safe with him.

(Oh boy...))

Tyler finally decided to take action in trying to cheer Abby back up. "Wull I would rather wear a bright yellow t-shirt with a smile then look like your father at this point." He announced with a slight glance down at Abby to see how she would react. The more he thought about it, the less that was true, but if it helped cheer her up then what the heck.

Lol))

Abbys head shot up as she pulled back a little, an impish grin forming on her face. "Really!?" She looked at him with an expecting look in her colorful eyes. "We could go shopping for one!!!"

-no no no- Tyler thought "That went south really quickly..." he muttered to himself, not really realizing he said it aloud. "Maybe... later..." Tyler trailed off with a half pleading look

Abby's face fell "ok..." she said with a slight duck of her head. She felt like she had just shrunk "tell me about it" she whispered to herself.

-awww fail- Tyler thought grumpily. His brow furrowed slightly as he tried to figure out something else to do, not really realizing he had wrapped an arm around Abby again. "I wasn't kidding though... I might not enjoy it that much, but if I try would make you feel better I would." He finally offered, knowing he had just dug his grave

"You would?" She asked, leaning into his arm for comfort. She noticed that she did that from time to time.

"I would." Tyler repeated as a confirmation, giving a slight nod of his head. Even if he had just dug his grave and offered to throw himself into it... he just hoped and prayed Abby held onto his words but didn't act on them.

"Ok then" was all she said. Abby silently thought of all the stores and if they had any type of smiley face shirts. She hadn't really been out lately so she decided she was going to go and check it out herself. Abby smiled and looked Titan. Titan tossed his head and whinnied, getting Grace and some of the other horses attention.

-I have a feeling she is thinking about every store that has a yellow smiley face shirt. Good Lord help meeeee- Tyler thought with a slight wince, staying leaned up against the stall. When the horse whinnied Tyler lifted his gaze to glance around, being reminded of what he had been worrying about.
