Irony

I pulled away, finally in need of oxygen.

"Don't do that!" I exclaimed angrily. It seemed Seth could get me to do anything with just a kiss.

Seth grinned.

"Well, are you going to calm down or what? Grant will be fine; your mom even said so. It will only take a few days."

"I know, but what if he rears and hits his head on the top of the trailer?" I whimpered.

"Well, it's safer to trailer him here than to fly him here apparently." Seth shrugged.

He had no idea how important Grant was to me. He was the first horse I had ever helped train. He was my best friend. He never judged me and he was the only one on my side when it happened. We helped each other no matter what, I can't believe myself. I just left him like that!

Seth hugged me as I cried.

Again.

"You don't understand, Seth." I told him.

"I know I don't."

"He means too much to me."

"I know he does." He rubbed my back.

"And when he gets here, where am I supposed to put him?" I asked. "Aiden and Lee may have room, I guess. But, Jacob and Billy certainly don't."

"We can tear down Leah's old room and put a one horse stall up." He offered. "She won't be using it anymore. Worse comes to worst we make it a two stalled barn and let her sleep in one of the stalls."

I hiccupped a laugh.

"It's going to be okay, Shea." He sighed.

I really hope so.
