After the visit to the hospital, Palmer went back home. She was heading straight to the stables to check on Misty and Jackal. The smell of ammonia was something that beckoned her. Palmer loved the smell since she was a little girl. 

“Hello, precious,” she said as she walked inside the stall. Misty approached her and nuzzled her, tugging on her hair while tickling her neck.

“Stop it! You’re tickling me!” Palmer laughed, kissing Misty’s forehead while rubbing her beautiful brown mane. She opened the stall and let them out to the pen where they galloped around until they got tired. 

Leaning against the fence, she let them have their fun as she observed them closely, especially Jackal since he needed to stretch his little legs. He was one active little creature.

    “Christopher, are you okay?” Palmer asked, pulling him out of his thoughts. He looked at her and nodded. But his heart was pounding at the knowledge of Palmer being that little girl he played with back when he was a kid.“And where is that boy now?”“I don’t know, but I was hoping you would tell me,” she gave him a faint smile, her turquoise eyes looking straight into his icy blue ones. Christopher gulped and sat down under the shade of a tree, trying to catch his breath. He felt like he would hyperventilate at any moment.“I mean, maybe it’s just coincidence, but that boy looked so much like you, and I was just thinking, what if you are him? Anything is possible, right?

    Four Years Later “Everything good, son?” James asked Christopher as he approached him with his horse. He’s been working for James as his ranch manager since Palmer left, and Hammer has become his best friend and working partner. “Everything is great. The cattle are already grazing on the hills, and we just need to bring them in at night,” Christopher replied, looking at the horizon.“That’s okay. We can bring the dogs with us. They will make the work faster, and it looks like it’s going to rain tonight, so we have to move,” James replied, and they both rode their horses back to the ranch. Christopher took the saddle off Hammer and put it on the saddle rack before letting the horse out on the pen to relax. He leaned against the wooden fence, and the most beautiful face had come to his mind. Wondering how Palmer was doing, he asked himself if she was still thinking about him. If she’s happy with someone else or if she's enjoying her dancing academy. “Thinking about her, son?” James s

    “Dude, wait up!” Gunner called, trying to stop Christopher from walking any further. He stopped and turned around, looking ashamed and guilty. Gunner caught up to him in the parking lot before he tried to make him talk.“Please, dude! Whatever happened there, go back and fix it! Don’t let Hunter ruin what you and Palmer have! He was just talking nonsense, and you know it!”“He’s right, though. I don’t even know what Palmer sees in me, Gunner. Look at me! I’m paler than a glass of milk, and I’m not good enough for her. She’s smart, funny, and beautiful. I’m none of those things!” Christopher replied, feeling like his heart was squeezing inside his chest.

    “Hello, Chris!” Faith greeted as she stood behind him in line to pick up their lunch. He picked up a tray and grabbed an orange and a piece of lasagna. The line kept moving, but Christopher was silent, and Faith tried again.“Don’t ignore me.”“I’m not ignoring you. I’m trying to get my lunch and eat in peace.”Christopher walked away and sat at the table, getting his book out to study for his science exam. Faith sat down in front of him and crossed her arms on the table, staring straight at him.“Are you mad at me?” She asked, worrying her lip. She didn’t want her friend to be mad at her f

    Grace walked down the stairs to join Thomas in the kitchen. He took the cake out of the oven and put it on the counter to cool for her.“Turning into quite the domestic man, huh?” She asked, leaning against the doorway. She had put a pink flowered apron on him, just for fun, and he had felt emasculated, but in the end, he was having a good time with her.“Well, if I want to belong to my lady and her son’s life, I have to learn to do things for them. I remembered not having as much time for Lauren as I’m doing for you. I just want to make up for it,” he replied, taking his apron off and hanging it on the rack. “How is he?”Grace took a deep breath, shaki
