A blast from the past (open)

[Ω-Admin-Cara-Ω]

Katherine was busy putting new information into her computer. It had now been a week since the phone call from her enraged daughter, and it seemed that the air had cleared between the teen and her riding instructor - or at least Katherine hadn't heard anything else about it.

"Mommy, I'm home!"

The woman's head snapped up as the door swung open and her daughter announced her arrival. "What are you doing here?" She exclaimed.

"Gee, nice to see you too, Ma." Demeter said as she pulled a face. "You said I could come and stay for my week off, right?" Her face face suddenly looked pained.

Katherine rolled her eyes at the girl. "You are supposedly an adult now. A bit old for the wounded puppy look, yes?"

Demeter pulled another face, the pained look instantly gone. "Whatever! Can I stay or not?"

Ah, the daughter she knew and loved. The one who ran hot and cold faster than a kitchen tap. "Sure you can stay. You do realize that it'll be a working holiday though, right?"

The eighteen year old rolled her eyes. "I'm here 'cause I'm having issues with my jumping coach and you want me to work the whole time I'm here?"

Katherine opened her mouth to reply when there was a knock on the door.

I gotta green light
I’m not afraid of nothing

The handsome cowboy strode down the barn aisle. He was looking for the barn manager as he had discovered one of the school horses with some heat in its leg. These cases were becoming all too common at the Academy. The weather was agreeing completely, and so far there was no sign of summer rain. The horses enjoyed being outside with no problem at all. Until now. Reaching the office, Jasper heard voices, but knew that a horses health came before anything. Knocking quietly, Jasper waited for Katherine to call him inside.

Ginny occupied his thoughts during that time. He had developed a liking for the female, and knew that he should go ask her out sometime. Jasper was wearing his usual attire. It included jeans, a t-shirt and cowboy boots. When he thought that there was too much time that had passed, he put his head inside, and saw Katherine with someone that looked a lot like her. “I’m sorry disturb, but I think we have an injured horse.” In the office, his Tennessee accent rang slightly as his lyrics entered the room.

Life is an open road, it’s the best story never told
It’s an endless sky, it’s the deepest sea
Life is an open road to me

"Come in." Katherine called.

Demeter turned and her eyes lit up as a cowboy walked through the door. "Hey." She said before he had the chance to open his mouth. And a good thing too since he walked passed her and addressed her mother as if the woman was the only person in the room.

Katherine was on her feet in an instant. "Don't be sorry that you're doing your job, Jasper." She said as she walked around the desk. "Let's go and have a look. Demeter, you can tag along."

Demeter growled, but fell into step behind her mother, nonetheless.
