Robert had been a surprise to the woman. He rarely left her side, well only to cook for her and that one moment a few days ago, but it was nice. She knew she needed this though her brain kept telling her to keep her guard up. He may pull her father's act. Then her heart told her to open up more to let his caring vigilance fill the empty spots in her heart. In no way did Robert fill the ripped shreds that were from the puppies she had lost, but somehow it felt like the man was helping her put the pieces back exactly in the spots they needed.
There was more silence then talk, but that mattered little to her, she liked his presence. She liked being close to him and she felt safe when he sat by her bed to sleep at night. She had not cried since a few days after the event. She ran out of tears and she told herself that she needed to make the best of things. That was why she was out today. They were going to do an everyday thing that would help the young woman. Her hand was clasped tightly with Robert’s but nothing to say that she was too tense or unhappy. She was slightly more content than that. She just feared that something might happen to him. Though somehow she was actually listening to her heart and knew she weas falling for the man, quietly and carefully. She let a soft smile brush over her face at his words; “Yes, Grace would like to be out in the sun and free.” She said quietly as they neared the stables. It was located close in the town that it was a short walk which was nice. She liked that she didn’t have to go far for the horse that saved her, who, she reminded herself, had saved her life and had not left it either. Those were thoughts that she could get used to and feel secure about. “Have you ever ridden before?” Eclipse asked.
