"Hey, Dad. Can we talk?" Amy said as Tim went to get out of the truck to fill up the gas.
"Yeah, about what sweetheart?"
Amy glanced back at the truck stop store to make sure Ty was still inside. "You've been, well over friendly since the stable and I wondering why."
"Friendly? What are you talking about?"
"Dad! I get that this is awkward. But maybe you're over doing it a bit."
"Sweetie, that couldn't be farther from the truth." Tim shut the truck door.
Amy sighed. "Great talk."
The truck door opened again. This time it was Ty. "You're dad just gave me a thumbs up."
"He's clearly drunk."
"What?" Ty said shocked as he turned to watch Tim.
"I'm kidding. He's not a happy drunk." She turned in her seat.
"Milk dudes for you." He said handing her the bag of candy.
"Can I have a sour worm?" She asked like a little kid. Ty chuckled.
"Sure." He held the bag out to her.
"Where do you think my dad's taking us?" She asked her face scrunching up as the sour hit her tongue.
"Who knows." He answered barely able to keep a straight face.
"I was hoping for some alone time."
"Me too." Ty leaned forward and kissed her.
Amy yawned as she left the hotel dragging her bags behind her. How she was so tired from doing nothing was beyond her. An awkward dinner last night and sleeping next to her dad in the world's smallest double bed didn't help. The fresh Montana air brought a slight chill for the summer morning. Ty yawned from begins her as he stretched his neck. Both almost looking hungover as they made their way to the truck. Tim sipped his coffee as he climbed behind the wheel. "Let's get a move on I wanna make a out stop before we head out." He shouted.
Amy and Ty exchanged glances. "How on earth is he so awake?" Ty groaned.
"Dad? Why'd you get us up so early?" Ty grabbed her suitcase from her and placed in the backseat.
"I told you I have a pit stop." Both teens sighed.
The truck coming to a stop suddenly startled Amy as her head sprung up. She must have fallen asleep. "We've here."
She rubbed her neck as she looked around to see where here was. "What are we doing here?" Ty asked from the front seat.
"I thought you two could use some alone time. I imagine that was half the reason for you coming." Tim looked over at Ty. "Amy, you can use Storm. I think he might benefit from a trail ride."
"This is amazing. Thanks, Dad." She jumped out of the truck looking around. She didn't waste anytime in getting Storm out of the trailer. "Hurry, Ty."
He laughed at her eagerness. "I'm coming."
"We have to be on the road by lunch." Tim said checking his watch.
Ty rushed up to catch up to Amy. He grabbed her hand.
"This is incredible." She said as they walked slowly along the trail.
"Your right something has gotten into your dad."
Amy laughed. "He always has a motive." She looked over at Ty' smile. He looked so happy. "Let's not worry about him. We are finally alone."
"Yes, we are."
"Ty, are you happy?" She asked stopping her horse.
"Yeah, why?" Ty asked.
"Pull up." Amy said catching he was having trouble. She laughed at him.
"It's harder then it looks." He said turning around to face her. Amy was still shaking her head.
"Not that hard."
"Well some of us weren't born on a horse."
"How about you, riding a motorcycle?"
"I had to learn."
"Exactly. So start trying to practice."
Ty scoffed. "Are you suggesting my motorcycle is easier?"
"No, but it takes practice. And you're not trying hard enough."
"When was the last time I fell off?" He folded his arms.
"That's not the point. You still gonna know how to stop or was your intention to ride back to Heartland?"
"Admit it, you like it. Me being all goofy."
"I'm starting to think you like me teaching you?" She giggled.
"If it means spending time with you." Both smiled before grabbing hands again as they continued their ride.
Tim's truck pulled to the yard. "Hey, their back." Jack shouted from the kitchen window.
"I can only imagine how it went. Amy's gonna be in a bad mood." Lisa said.
"I'm afraid of that." He watched as Amy got out of the truck her composer not giving anything away. Tim hopped out his sunglasses hiding his eyes as he went to the back of the trailer. "They didn't leave Ty in Montana so that's great." He laughed.
"You worry too much. This isn't your issues. Amy and Tim need to work through this on their own."
He watched as Storm was unloaded and Ty went into the barn. Him and Amy not making any eye contact. Tim gave Amy a hug before going back to the truck and driving away.
"Well, that's doesn't look promising." Lisa commented.
"What happened to it being their business?" He looked over his shoulder at her.
"Their coming." She shouted before adjusting her jacket and walking away. Jack did the same trying to appear casual.
"Grandpa!" Amy said throwing her bag down and hugging him.
"How'd you do?"
"We never got to race." She said honestly. Ty picked up her suitcase and shot Jack a look. Both walked to Amy's room.
Jack looked at Lisa confused. "What?"
