Okay Kats and kittens, Love triangle it is…..
"Well, Happy birthday Jack" said Aurora "I'm gonna walk back to the Lodging House and get some rest"
"I'll walk ya Rora" said Racetrack, brushing the ashes off his lap.
"Thanks Race" replied Aurora.
She tucked her arm in his and followed him into the cool night air.
"So, what its like in New Mexico?" asked Race.
"Hot" replied Aurora "Nothing like it is here"
They discussed their lives. Racetrack told her about the strike and how Jack had almost betrayed his friends. He then had her giggling over stories about Blink. He just liked to see her laugh. They had sat on the steps of the lodging House talking until the others had returned from the party.
"Git some rest huh?" asked Blink giving his sister a look.
"Yeah" said Aurora wrinkling her nose "Shut up!"
Later That Night…
Aurora slid quietly out of the Lodging House window and climbed quietly down the fires escape. She didn't see the light from Spot's cigarette dancing in the darkness.
"Where ya goin?"
"Jesus Conlon" whispered Aurora "You scared the hell out of me"
"Do ya frequently sneak out?"
"Do you always ask so many questions?" She Shot back.
"So? Where are ya goin?"
"Come see" said Aurora grabbing his hand.
Sheepshead races was dark, the late race crowd had gone home for the night.
"Stay here" she said walking to the office.
Spot stamped the ground around him and looked up into the night sky. What the hell are ya doin Conlon? He thought to himself. Sneaking out of the Lodging House with Kid's baby sister.
"She certanately doesn't look like a baby" he said to himself as she made her way back.
"Ever rode a horse?" asked Aurora.
"Me? nah"
"Come on" she said pouting "Please?"
"All right" said Spot putting his hand on the back of the black horse.
"Good" said Aurora as she put Spitfire into a full out run "Catch me if you can!"…
Hehehe! Spot on a horse!
