A small smile formed on Ty's lips as Amy entered his room. "Hey."
"Hey. Brought you some clean, bloodless clothes." She held up a small bag. "Hope you don't mind. You know going through your stuff."
"Of course. Better then wearing this out of here." He said pulling at his hospital gown making Amy laugh.
"My dad's in the hallway. I'll wait for you."
"Wait..." Ty said holding out his arm. Amy looked back toward the door. "Who knows how long before I'll be able to do this again once we get back to Heartland." A big grin played on his lips.
Amy pondered if she should or not. Glancing back at the door for a second to see they really were alone and no one was watching she darted toward Ty. Jumping onto the bed next to him she wrapped her arms around his neck. "True. Moments like this can't happen once we get home." Ty smiled raising an eyebrow before wrapping his arms around her too. Amy lingered at his lips teasing him before giving in and kissing him. A long slow kiss before they broke apart. Ty grabbed her hand as she got back up off the bed. He held it until he had to let go as she had stepped away too far. She shot Ty a quick grin before leaving out the room.
Ty leaned back against the pillows a huge smile on his face. The whole thing felt like a dream. He'd layed awake most of the night just thinking about Amy. He's missed 4 years and he wasn't about to miss anymore. They had a lot of catching up to do. And a lot to still work through but for now he was happy she was his again.
Amy glanced out her bedroom window to see Caleb's truck pulling into the driveway. Amy's heart skipped a beat in panic. She hurried to the front door and had it open before he could make it to the porch. Her frown soon turned into a small smile as he skipped the steps two at a time to get to her. He wrapped his arms around her. "Are you okay? I only got Lisa's message this morning." He pushed away to look at Amy now a little closer.
"I'm fine, Caleb." She answered with no emotion.
"What happened?" He asked concerned. Amy feeling self conscious as his eyes wondered to the bruises on her bare arms. Amy turned away from him and sat on the bench.
"I was coming back from town. I didn't see the tree." She never looked up to meet his eyes.
Caleb nodded before slowly walking over to her and sitting down himself. There was a long pause neither saying anything. "I'm glad your okay. I still care about you." Amy nodded.
"I care about you too."
"I should have stayed to talk the other day. We need to clear the air. If you still want to be friends."
"Of course. Yes. I still want to be friends. I don't want things to be awkward. You and I are great together." Amy smiled now looking at him.
"So...I can keep my job?" He asked hesitated then laughed.
Amy's expression changed. "Jack would be heartbroken." She paused. "I'd miss you around here too."
"So, how's Ty with all this? I assume you told him how you feel."
"Yeah, I did. But neither of us is sure how to move forward after such a big confession. His first thought was about you. I thought you should know. He didn't want to do anything with me still engaged to you. And I promise nothing ever happened between us when we were together."
"Thanks for telling me. I really do appreciate it. Even if it stings a little." He sighed.
Amy placed her hand on his. "It stings for me too. I really did think you were the one."
"But that was before Ty was a possibility." Caleb said as a question. Amy looked away. "It's okay. I don't blame you. I just hope it all works out for you." Caleb stood. "If you need anything. Let me know."
Amy nodded before standing and giving him a hug.
Amy had hurried toward the barn the minute Caleb left. She was bounding the stairs to the loft.
"Hey, sleepy head." Amy said pushing the door open.
Ty smiled at her. "You up already?" He joked.
"How you feeling?" She asked sitting down on the edge of the bed.
"Fine until I seen you hugging Caleb."
Amy's smile turned into a frown. "It wasn't like that. He came to see I was okay after the accident."
"That's all?"
"He's my friend. And he works here." She said feeling backed into a corner.
"I'm happy you finally admitted your feelings but how long am I gonna be your little secret your ashamed off?" He folded his arms glaring at her.
"It's only been 2 days. And I'm not ashamed."
"It doesn't feel that way."
Amy sighed. "It's complicated." Ty frowned. "Besides does it really matter as long as we are together?" She grabbed his hand.
"Maybe we went about this all wrong."
"What?" Amy was hurt.
"No, I love you. It's just that maybe we rushed it a bit." Amy frowned. "Can we start at the beginning?"
"Like how?"
"Like a little slower. Like maybe I take you on a first date."
"I'd love that." She smiled.
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Okay, let me do this right." Ty sat up a little straighter. "Will you go out with me?" He asked a big smile on his face.
Amy nodded happy. "Yes, of course I'll go out with you." She leaned in to kiss him but he stopped her.
"Hey, not until after the first date."
"I don't know if I can wait that long." She frowned playfully.
"Well, you'll have too." He laughed.
