"I love it out here." Caleb said as he glanced around at the trees as he and Amy made their way over to the stream. Their horses tied up behind them.
"It's beautiful." Amy said looking around too.
"Do you remember the first time you brought me out here?"
"Of course I do." She stopped and turned to look at Caleb the stream behind her now. She gripped his hand a little tighter unsure of how to say what she wanted and needed to say. "Caleb..." Her words coming out dry and so unlike herself. She seen Caleb swallow hard and glance away. Did he know what was coming she wondered. Her heartrate increasing. "Caleb, you know I love you, right?"
"Of course. I love you too." He wasn't as convincing.
"Maybe it's cold feet or..." She started but Caleb cut her off.
"You don't wanna get married? Do you?" He asked bluntly.
Amy shook her head as tears came to her eyes. "I'm so sorry, Caleb. I didn't mean to lead you on. I really do love you. It's just..."
"Ty?"
"There's still something there. And that's not fair to you." Amy cried reaching for his hand.
Caleb looked away hiding his face. "Did anything happen between you two?"
"No! Of course not. I would never do that."
"How long?" He questioned.
"Since the first time he got here if that's at all possible." Amy said.
"I should have known. The look on your face when you seen him again after all those years. The anger you felt was you hiding your true feelings. Or rather your anger at yourself for being pulled back in. He's only gonna break your heart again, Amy. You know that right? People like him..."
"I know." Amy said firmly.
"He's a criminal."
"He's worth the risk." Amy said smiling through her tears. "I'm sorry." She slowly slipped the small diamond ring off her finger. Glancing at it in her hand first for a second she had no doubt in her mind she was doing the right thing. "Even if there's no change in us getting back together it's not fair to you." She handed him the ring.
"You know, in the back of my mind I wasn't sure we were the perfect fit. I'd hoped so but...well I'm not surprised. It was bound to fall apart eventually." He looked at the ring sadly. "He's why you said no the first time, isn't it?" Amy nodded. He leaned in and kissed her cheek. Amy smiled sadly watching him walk back to where the horses where tied. She watched him mount and walk away leaving her alone with Spartan and her thoughts. New tears fell as she sat on the ground pulling her knees up to her chest.

A few hours later Amy finally made her way into the house. She kicked off her boots quickly before making a bee line to her room. Jack brushed past her in the living room. He caught sight of her tear strained cheeks. "Amy, honey? You okay?"
"Yeah. Never better." She lied as she still made her way to her bedroom avoiding eye contact. Jack wasn't convinced. Amy and Caleb had left for a trail ride. Usually the pair would come back to the house together. She'd demand he stay for dinner then they would watch a movie curled up on the couch.
"Sweetie?" Jack asked following after his granddaughter. Amy had surprisingly left her door open. She was pushing her clothes off the bed and onto the floor angrily. "Did you and Caleb have a fight?"
She stopped to face him. "I don't know..." She cried new tears falling down her face.
"It's gonna be okay. You two always work it out. Your wedding is bound to cause a few arguments." He soothed as he wrapped her into a tight hug.
"I don't think this can be fixed." She whispered into his neck. Her hands coming into view. A small tan line almost mocking her from where the ring use to sit. She closed her eyes and hugged Jack tighter. She didn't regret what she did. Her choice was easy. She didn't want perfect. She wanted real. And Caleb wasn't gonna offer her that. But taking the risk that Ty still felt the same was scaring her now more then breaking it off with Caleb just hours ago. Jack rubbed her back trying to calm her. He didn't ask any questions. He knew Amy would only open up when she was ready.

Lisa grabbed her purse of the dining room table as she straighten her dress. Jack coming into the room adjusting his tie. Lisa couldn't help the chuckle at Jack's face as he tugged at it. "Should we be going out tonight?" She asked serious now.
He looked up at her. "You've been talking about this meeting all week." He stated.
"I know. It's just that Amy's been, well... I just don't feel right leaving her here alone."
Jack rounds the table and placed his hand on her shoulder. "She says she fine. And I believed her. We can't baby her." Lisa sighed. "Maybe we should talk to Caleb. It's been a week since they've talked."
"We can't fix this. Only they can. Besides us hovering isn't helping."
"I know your right. It's hard to see her upset."
"It is for me too. But we can't baby her." Jack smiled. "Beside she won't like that she's the reason you miss out on a potential client." Lisa nodded agreeing before straightening his tie herself.

Amy stayed focused on the road in front of her. Ty sat quietly beside her. Not much had been said since she picked him up. The rain was coming down harder now. She tightened her grip on the wheel as she looked over at Ty. "So what happened exactly to your truck?"
Ty let out a chuckle. "Sold it. I needed the money. Besides a motorcycle is cheaper."
Amy let out a laugh. "Well, I'm dry and your wet."
"Okay, very funny. Laugh all you want but at least I have my own vehicle."
"Whatever." She said annoyed. "You're just lucky I was home or you'd still be in town. Wet."
"Yeah, well I forgot about Jack being with Lisa tonight."
"I don't mind. Caleb's out of town anyway. So I was bored."
Ty nodded. "You really like him, don't you?"
Amy could tell he sounded disappointed. "I guess. We've been on again off again for 3 years. Remember Ashley?"
"How could I forget her?"
"Yeah. She dated Caleb for almost a year after we broke up. Crazy I know." Amy laughed catching Ty's expression. "She's prelaw, if you can believe it."
"Wow. Never would have pagged her for that."
"I know."
Ty watched her smile. He'd thought she'd changed but he realized she was the same caring, loving person he fell in love with years ago. But hearing the way she talked about Caleb, he knew she loved him. He'd missed out. And it was his own fault. "So...rumor has it you turned down his marriage proposal." Ty said fishing for information.
She nodded. "Yeah."
"Why?"
"I don't know, Ty. We were too young. It was after...my accident."
Ty raised his eyebrow. "What?"
"Last year, I got bucked off of Spartan when he got spoked by a bear." She looked over at Ty. "I guess it just didn't seem fair...to Caleb, I mean." Ty eyed her. "I guess...I was still hung up on you." She sighed.
"Amy..."
"I know, you left years ago. But I felt something between us. Even before the kiss."
"Amy!" Ty shouted.
"It wasn't fair to him because I still loved you." Amy smiled but Ty's reaction to what she said wasn't what she expected. He'd been jealous of Caleb ever since coming back to Heartland. Or so she assumed.
"Amy! Look out!" Ty shouted. Amy glanced back toward the road. Ty grabbed the wheel turning it his direction. Amy was too shocked to react. In the storm a large tree had fallen onto the road. She slammed on the break but that only made them slide worse. Ty steered the best he could to get stopped at the side of the road but it all happened too quickly. The tires lost their grip in the gravel. They hit the tree and the truck flipped. The loud crunching sound the last thing he remembered.
