Chapter 1

Once Ty had decided to go on his self-finding trip that he had to do alone Amy decided to go on the Ring of Fire Tour. Dad said he would go along to be her chaperon.

About a week after Ty left Chase came by to check on Zeffer his horse he left with Amy to work with. As he walks into the barn he hears Amy talking... "your a good boy aren't you"...as she was giving him the T-touch.

"You talk to horses do you"

"It helps calm them down"

"So Miracle Girl hows he doing?"

"He doing good …...I think he'll do just fine on the tour for you...and if you have any problem on tour I'll be there to help if you need it" Amy tells him as she looks up to see his response.

"So your coming on tour Amy thats ...GREAT …...I take it your boy friend changed his mind."

"No he didn't...my Dad is coming"

"Super" Chase says with a big smile and before she realizes it he steps in to give her a soft but meaningful hug.

As he pulls back Amy walks around him to get a lead rope and hands it to Chase. "Okay then...let me put Zeffer in the trailer and I'll write you a check."

Walking back to Amy from the passenger side of his truck where she is waiting Chase hands her the check then places both hands on her shoulders. "We are going to have a really good time Amy...I'll see you in a week in Edmonton" and heads out.

Amy was having different thoughts and feelings rush thru her mind and body. She didn't like or agree with his training methods or his ego, he was arrogant and it much for a showoff to suit her. But there was something about him that stirred her. He was cute...those blue eyes were as piercing as Ty's green eyes. His touch was gentle and not as electrifying as Ty's but till it moved her. Amy thought back to when he had placed his hand on her upper thigh...the excitement that went thru her body as Ty drove by and Chase gently squeezed it had sent shivers to her crotch... then and just now. This was why she wanted Ty to come with her on the tour. Ty's presence would help her control her thoughts. She knew it was up to her to take control of her thinking and show Ty and everyone else she had grown up.

Having everything packed and Spartan loaded Amy and Tim headed out. Edmonton was only about a 5hr. drive and the show didn't start till 6pm Friday night but they left Thursday morning to get settled in. The tour management had set up all their hotel accommodation which were within a block of the arena.

Upon arriving at the arena Amy checks in and gets Spartan situated in his stall. While Amy is filling up Spartans water trough Jerry the announcer from the Hudson show comes up and greets her. "Well Amy are you ready to show these guys a thing or two again and win"

"Yes I am"

"Oh Hank...come here a minute …...I'd like to introduce you Any Fleming...The Miracle Girl...she won our last Ring of Fire in Hudson."

"Nice to meet you Amy"

"Nice to meet you to Hank...I saw Chase a week ago and he told me your from Oklahoma...is that right."

" Yes Ma'am …..born and raised...is this your horse" he asks

"Yup his name is Spartan...my late mother and I rescued him.

"Nice looking horse Amy...I have to get settled in so nice to meet you again and I'll see ya tomorrow if not sooner"

"Okay see you later"

"So Jerry has Hank done these tours down in the states"

"Not for a few years... but he has won in the past."

Amy says her good byes and heads to her truck. When she reaches the truck she see Chase pull in and each waves and ex knowledge each others greeting. Walking over to him she decides it time to start the game as she calls it "Well I was wondering if you'd even show up since I beat you so bad last time."

Chase just smiles as he exits his truck...Amy leans herself agented his truck with her hands behind her with her own smiling face...Chase steps to within an inch of her body puts a finger under chin lifting her face so she would have to look into his blue eyes and said "Good luck Miracle Girl" and planted a kiss on her that she thought about the rest of the day and he walks off.

Once Amy made it back to her truck she swallowed hard and thought this isn't going to be as easy I

had hoped. Then heads back to the hotel. Amy had a restless night.

Amy wakes at near 6am, she grabs some cloths and heads into the bathroom to shower and get ready for the day. When done she knocks or the adjoining rooms door to see if her dad is up....what...she hears him say..."I'm heading out to feed Spartan Dad I'll be back in an hour and then we can get breakfast...okay"

"Sure Amy... I'll be ready"

As Amy walks to the arena she could see Chase's rig parked in the back of the parking lot. She just then remember that the Tour paid him extra since they didn't have to get him a room. Amy noticed that Chase had put Zeffer next to Spartan and greeted him as she went by his stall. While grooming Spartan Chase walks up and tells her good morning...she does the same. Amy could feel a little tension in the air.

"Chase there Will Not and I do mean Will Not be another …...incident like what happened yesterday in the parking lot...do I make myself clear on that"

"Sure Amy...but you can't deny you like it"

Amy has to turn away quickly so Chase wouldn't see her biting her bottom lip …...she also know she didn't sound very convincing …...she also didn't want to have to look into those blue eyes. She finished up with Spartan and was heading out when Chase called to her "see ya tonight ..Miracle Girl."

At breakfast Tim asks Amy if he could use the truck for the day, he wanted to go see an old friend near there and he'd be back about an hour before the show. Amy started to laugh..Tim looked at her like what is that for... "sorry Dad I'm just not used to someone asking to borrow my truck."

"Alright Honey I get what mean...are you good with that though"

"Sure...I'm have to be over at the arena at 2pm to draw which horse I will be working with...I plain to study him until 4ish then go back to my room and get ready...I should be at the arena no later than 5."

"What are you going to do in the mean time"

"I thought I take Spartan out for a little ride...there looked like Trail sign out to the south of the arena parking lot I thought of trying...if not I'm sure someone in the arena might know of one nearby.

"Okay then I'll see you later...oh wait you do have money don't you just in case"

"Yes Dad but you are buying this breakfast" Amy said with a grin.

Amy hands her dad the keys as they held backup towards the hotel and arena. A stock truck drives by them turning into the arena lot... "that should be the horses for this weekend" …...Amy picks up her pace and looks back at her dad...I'll seen you tonight …...have a good day dad" and was out of hearing range.

Tim just smiled as he approached the truck...my girls have done well with them selves...he thinks. …...to bad I can't same the same about the men they have chosen.
