It was ten p.m. and all Amy wanted to do was sleep. If just there hadn't been that other issue. When Ty had come home this afternoon to tell her what had happened or rather what he had done, she hadn't yet fully realized what it meant. Now she did, after the entire family had discussed it which included her father, grandfather and sister.
That morning, Jesse Stanton had paid Ty a visit at his trailer to tell him he had to move out. He had added something about Caleb and Cassandra that wasn't true (as far as Ty knew, at least). But the last straw was something about ruining Amy and Ty's future, their business and their relationship. Ty was very sensitive about that kind of thing, especially coming from "a rich guy" like Jesse. That was why he started punching him until the two workers Jesse had brought with him parted them.
"Jack, could you give me a lift to my trailer, please?," Ty finally asked as he got up from his chair. The loft was currently being renovated, so nobody could possibly stay there for a whole night.
"Why don't you sleep in my room? You needn't go all the way to the trailer, " Amy cut in, for she was worried about her fiancé, ignoring her father's disapproving glance.
"Thank you, Amy, that's probably a good idea. I'll just get some stuff from the loft, " he said and grabbed his jacked as he went out.
"That is not a good idea. What the heck was that boy thinking," Tim spoke sharply.
"Dad, please..." Amy was too tired to argue over such a ridiculous thing.
"Tim, will you just leave them alone? Don't make things more complicated than they already are," Jack replied insistently. Tim swallowed his answer and excused himself, claiming he had to go to Big River and organize stuff. For this, Amy loved her grandfather even more. He was probably the only man in the world who could keep Tim Fleming in check.
"Thank you, Grandpa, we'll work this out," she hugged him quickly and walked into her room to get another blanket for Ty.
Minutes later, Ty entered her room, looking uncomfortable and angry.
"Hey, Ty. Just don't listen to my dad, he can be a real jerk", Amy said after hugging him.
"Amy. I am really sorry about what I did," Ty begun. "I know it was my fault and..."
"Ty, we'll deal with that tomorrow morning, alright? We both need rest. And I know whatever happened, you wouldn't have done it without a good reason," Amy replied softly.
"Thank you, Amy, I don't know what I would do without you," he admitted.
"You're welcome. Now go to bed," she ordered and found herself smiling which felt good after hours of worrying.
Somewhere deep down, Amy had believed, yesterday would turn out to be a bad dream that left nothing but a feeling of relief. But seeing Ty the next morning sleep next to her made her recall everything. He looked so peaceful and so adorable with his hair all messed up that Amy decided not to wake him yet. She quickly got up, put on a warm sweater and her jeans and walked into the kitchen, where Lou was already making some breakfirst.
"Morning," Amy murmered as she tried to stifle a yawn.
"Morning, Amy," Lou said, "how are you?"
"I'm okay. I'm worried about Ty, though. He is really upset about what he did."
"So you need to cheer him up, don't you? And what better way to do that than bringing him breakfirst in bed, huh?" Lou pointed on the table and a tray with Ty's favourite food on it.
"Oh my god, thank you so much, Lou. You really know what we need right now," Amy said and went to embrace her sister.
"You're welcome," her sister said, smiling sympathetically. "We'll get through this somehow, okay?"
"Okay," Amy whispered.
