The sun disappears over the horizon as we pull up to the barn, a brilliant orange glow being cast over the grounds. I had forgotten how beautiful this place is.
“What time do you need me tomorrow?” I ask Thad as I lead Cocoa into her stall.
“Huh?” He seems confused by the question, turning to face me after securing Sheldon’s gate.
“The tractor. My dad said for me to help you.”
“Oh, right. Probably after breakfast if that works for you?”
“Works for me.” I smile, following him out of the barn. “Thank you again for coming with me. I’m sure there’s probably a million other things you could have been doing.”
“It was no problem.” He shoves his hands into the front pockets of his jeans. “I guess I’ll see you in the morning?” He pauses next to the back door.
“See you in the morning.” I give him a casual wave as I climb the back stairs and disappear inside.
I wait a total of five seconds before peeking out the window at the back of the mud room, catching sight of Thad moments before he reaches the camper and disappears inside.
