"But man that was fun." I chuckled.
                          
"Fun?"
                          
"Yeah. I haven't felt this rush in a long time." I laughed. Like really laughed. 
                          
"You enjoyed that?"
                          
"She just needs to earn my trust. Once she does she will let me ride her."
                          
"Are you saying you want to try that again?"
                          
"Oh yes. I'm not giving up." I nod and chuckled. 
                          
"You're crazy."
                          
"Thanks."
                          
"But brave. Are you sure you want to try again?"
                          
"Yes."
                          
I look at him and smiled. 
                          
"Thanks for saving me."
                          
"No problem. You're dad will kill me if something happens to you with these horses."
                          
"I can take care of myself. Lets go." I get up and I go to the horse again.
                          
Liam shook his head and he chuckles. He gets up while I gently rub the horse.
                          
"You never told me what her name is."
                          
"Oh. Ruby."
                          
"Hi Ruby. We are going to try this again. Please don't be so rough with me." I said and Liam walks to the gate. 
                          
I followed him and he gets the horse. Once he has her, he brings her to me. He helps me up again and we try again. I fell a few times and just tried again. 
                          
After a while she throws me off her again and I get up and run to the fence. Liam shakes his head.
                          
"Why are you doing this Elena?"
                          
I turn to him and climb on the fence.
                          
"For my dad. I know he doesn't have the time for this. And he is getting old. And no one else will help him with this."
                          
"I am."
                          
"Yeah but you also don't have all the time. You have your own farm to worry about too."
                          
"True. Lets try again." he says. 
                          
He gets the horse again and he brings her to me. He stands behind me, closer than before, I could feel his breath in my neck. I look down and hold my own breath. I closed my eyes and he puts his hands on my leg to help me get on the horse. But the touch was different too. It was gently as he moves his hand up a bit. And that touch brings back the memory of me and Jamie in the kitchen the night before I left. 
                          
"Elena. Are you okay?"
                          
"No." I stepped away from the horse. I shook my head and stepped away from him. 
                          
"We should do this tomorrow again." I said and I walk out of the ring. I run to the stables.
                          
"Was it something I said?" he looks at Amber and Tammy.
                          
"No. It's Jamie." Amber says.
                          
"Jamie?"
                          
"Her husband."
                          
"She's married again?"
                          
"Yeah. But he's cheating on her. And she's having a hard time with it."
                          
"Oh."
                          
"I'll go talk to her."
                          
"No. I'll go. I've been through this. I know what she's dealing with." 
                          
Liam brings the horse back to the stables and he sees me on the floor.
                          
I was sitting against the one stall and I was resting my head in my hands, trying to catch my breath again. He puts the horse inside and closed the gate. I look at him while he is busy.
                          
"Sorry. I just..." I said softly.
                          
"You don't have to explain anything to me. I understand."
                          
I get up and dust myself off.
                          
"Are you busy tonight?"
                          
"I have the boys tonight. But other than that no."
                          
"You want to come over later for dinner? I owe you for saving me earlier."
                          
"You don't owe me anything Elena."
                          
"Well if you want to come then you are welcome to. You can bring the boys if you want to." I said and I just walk away from him.
                          
"Elena." he calls out.
                          
I turn around and look at him.
                          
"I would love to come."
                          
"Okay. See you at 7." I said and he smiles and nods. 
                          
I turn around and walk to my girls.
