The next few days things returned to normal. Both Amy and Ty were happier. Stealing little glances and kisses when they were alone. No fear of getting caught. Amy knew she'd still have to face her dad but for now at least Jack and Lisa were on their sides. Of course Jack was still trying to get use to the idea. He'd left early that morning to do some errands and found Amy and Ty walking the horses holding hands. He hated that Amy had been keeping secrets and lying to them. But Amy had been the happiest he'd seen her in months. As much as he hated to admit it to himself he was proud. It'd taken him almost as long as Amy to realize Ty wasn't coming back all those years ago. He'd grown to like Caleb and excepted that he was the right one for Amy. Not Ty but watching them reconnect and fight he seen that spark. And even more so now as things were out in the open. Both needed that time apart to grow and learn. Make mistakes and find out who they were separately before falling back together. Heck, the same thing happened to him and Lisa. Sure it'd only been a few months not 4 years but they were better for it. Closer even. And he seen that in Amy and Ty.
Amy's loud giggling filled the empty house. Her big toothy smile brought a large smile to Ty's face. Amy picked up another shirt from the dirty laundry pile and threw it across the room at him. Her job to tidy the house while Lisa was away for a few days hadn't exactly been what she had planned to do that afternoon. But Ty had made the activity into a game. "Ty! Please, I have to get this done before Grandpa gets back."
"You're making it hard on yourself." He protested before throwing the shirt back at her.
"Ty! Stop!" Amy giggled.
"Stop what?" He asked he said grabbing her around the waist and lifting her up. Her laughing growing as she squirmed to get free. He set her down looking deeply into her eyes. "Your beautiful." Amy blushed. "How about we forget about this. And we take my bike for a ride?" He pointed back at the washing machine. He watched as Amy considered.
"Okay." She smiled.
Ty excitedly grabbed her shoulders and pulled her closer. Kissing her for a few seconds and pushing away. Leaving out the screen door just as fast. Amy shook her head as she cleaned up the mess.
The wind blew threw his hair as he speeded down the highway. Amy's arms wrapped around him. Her warmth enveloping him. Their love for each other breaking through so strongly. A feeling he never wanted to disappear. Slowing up he stopped near a field a few minutes from Hudson. Amy pulled her helmet off her blonde hair flowing over her shoulders. "It's beautiful out here." She said as Ty got off and removed his helmet.
"Thank you."
"For what?" She questioned confused.
"For being so understanding and patient with me."
She smiled. "Yeah, I don't think I'm any of those things."
"True. It did take us 5 years to get together." He laughed.
"Hey, who's fault is that?"
"I know."
"I love you."
"I love you too." Ty leaned down to kiss her. This time it lasted longer then back at the house. "I have kinda a crazy idea. Wanna drive?"
Amy was speechless at first almost thinking she'd misunderstood him. "What?"
Ty raised his eyebrow as he put his helmet back on. "Come on."
"Ty!" Amy said as he pushed her forward as he got on behind her.
"We'll go slow I promise."
She nodded as she reluctantly put her helmet on. "Please be careful."
"I will. Now put your hands here." He grabbed her hands placing them on the handlebars. Amy had this sudden rush of adrenaline. She felt safe with Ty's arms holding her. He started the bike. "Ready?" His hands never left hers. She nodded again. Ty put the bike in drive and edged forward slowly as he merged back onto the pavement.
By the time the pair got to town Amy felt more confident. She was driving all on her own with Ty paying close attention. He still had to help her with turns but otherwise he was impressed. She let out the occasional squeal making Ty laugh.
He helped her park the bike a few stores down from Maggie's. Offering to buy her a milkshake. Little did they know Tim had arrived back from Moosejaw earlier then expected. As he left the bank a few minutes later he was forced to walk by the couple. At first he didn't even realize it was Amy or Ty but he quickly did a double take at the young couple making out both leaning against the motorcycle.
Amy's blonde hair draped down a black leather jacket that he could only assume to be Ty's.
