An: For my darling readers...
Oh no. Oh no oh no! What did I just do!? My one and only chance to learn to ride and what do I do? I offend the stable boy, the one who is supposed to be teaching me. Oh what he must think of me. But who cares what he thinks of me. It was obvious that he was making me uncomfortable on purpose. . .wasn't he? Ugh now I don't know!. . . . . . I have to apologize. He has to forgive me, I need these lessons. Suddenly there was a knock at my door.
"Genevieve darling, it is time for dinner." My father called through the door. What!? I looked out the window and noticed the setting sun. I'd been in my room thinking of the situation obsessively for longer than I'd originally thought.
"Coming father." I quickly went and followed him to the dinning room. As we sat down at the table he started up conversation.
"So dear how was your time in the stables today?" He asked.
"Uh...it was great. I met mom's horse today. I met mine and named him too. His name is Ash he's absolutely amazing." I gushed.
"That's good to here darling. Where you able to try riding him today?"
"Um, no actually I was going to try tomorrow."
"Hmm, I don't think that would be wise. We've been invited to a ball tomorrow evening and I would rather you put off actual lessons until the next day in case you are injured." Father said and though I was excited at the prospect of a ball I was a little disappointed that I wouldn't be able to ride tomorrow either, but I still needed to apologize to Emmett.
"That's fine father but would it be alright if I still went to visit Ash during the day before we leave?" I asked.
"I don't see a problem with that it is fine with me." He agreed.
"Thank you."
The next day as I walked down to the stables after breakfast I prayed that Emmett would forgive me and give me lessons.
" ?" I called out hoping he would answer. " are you here?"
"Well look who it is, little miss rich girl. Are you here to offend me further with your rude behavior." His accent seemed thicker today and it sent a shiver through my bones.
"No actually, I came to apologize. I was out of line and I should have never spoken to you that way. I would be ever grateful if you would still agree to teach me to ride Ash. It is all I've ever wanted for so long. It's the only thing I have left to be close to my mother." I pleaded. For a moment he just stared at me. Calculating. Trying to figure out if I was being sincere.
"Well since you asked so nicely...come on girl." He said as he walked toward Ash's stall.
"Wait I can't today. Father has requested that I wait until tomorrow to begin seeing as we've been invited to a ball this evening. He doesn't want me to accidentally injure myself before it is time to leave." I explained. He quirked an eyebrow at that but otherwise said nothing on the subject.
"That's fine then. Would you like to see Ash? He's been anxious ever since you left yesterday."
"I'd love too." I walked ahead of him towards Ash and immediately started to stroke his long face. "Hello my beautiful boy." Emmett left me alone to visit and after about an hour of speaking quietly to Ash I went back home to prepare for tonight's ball.
