Okay recap. Sam horesnappped Witch because Jake for…well you'll see.

"Oh no you don't! Get back in that barn!" yelled Jake ridding into the yard on Chip.

He was mad.

"Are you talking to me?" Sam asked innocently.

"What's this supposed to prove?" asked Jake as he looked at the braiding and bows.

"It's payback for the dousing before the wedding, and for blaming me for letting Queen get loose" replied Sam.

Jake was quiet for a moment then said "lets go sit on you porch."

"I don't want a big discussion."

"Oh no you wouldn't have done this if you hadn't wanted a big discussion. Now your gonna get it."

This is domed thought Sam.

"You won't stop bein' crazy with horses will you?"

"I haven't run Ace…"

Jake cut her off "Since you took that spill."

"I told you I had to do a sudden dismount."

"There's a natural order of things, with it I'm afraid that you'll turn out like your Mom. Always putting animals before yourself."

"Are you trying to make me mad?" asked Sam shoving Jake against the house. "Because it's working so I think you should get the Heck out of here of here before I hurt you Jake Ely!"

"Sam"

"Oh no I don't want to hear it all in on punch you tell me my Mom was stupid that I'm stupid!" yelled Sam

"I didn't say that you or your Mom is or was stupid. I'm just saying that there animals you can love them but in the end your more important."

Jake paused.

"And I care about you to much and don't want to see you hurt again" yelled Jake when she punched him and ran down the stairs.

When he caught up with her she swung around and yelled "I'm tired of you protecting me from every thing that has to do with horses I'm a big girl Jake I can take care of my self."

"Well maybe the only reason I try to protect you is because I'm in love with you!" he yelled back then stopped looking shocked at what he said.

"Yeh right" she shot back.

That made him madder. "You don't believe me? Dose this change your mind?"

He wrapped one arm around her back and kissed her. She kissed him back.

To Sam it lasted forever.

When they broke apart Sam whispered "I guess it dose."

Jake let go of her and turned and walked father of.

"Jake I'm sorry. You just don't want me to get hurt but you gotta give me room to breath." She hesitated "And I'm sorry I hit you."

Jake took a deep breath. "And I'm sorry. I am to protective. And I'm sorry for implying that you and your mother were stupid."

"So we agree I be more careful with horses and you stop being so protective all the time some times is okay?" asked Sam.

"Yes" Jake agreed.

"Now about that kiss."

"I apologize I shouldn't have done it."

"No. no" said Sam "Its okay. But did you mean it do you really love me?"

Jake nodded "Yes I really do."

"I love you too."

Jake looked at her "Really?"

"Yes"

He leaned down and kissed her again.

She smiled.

Suddenly Jake pulled away. "I'll be back soon."

"What? Jake where are you going?"

"Don't worry just don't eat any thing."

And with that he was gone. With Witch galloping beside Chip.

Sam shook her head. Whatever he was going to do it would be interesting.
