Chapter 45

Chapter 45

"Your chariot awaits my dear." Mitchell takes Amelia's arm in his.

"You are silly." Conny teases. They make jokes all the way to the stable.

"Mum, they have a lot of horses here."

"This is the place I told you about, that bords horses. A lot of these horses have an owner so you can't ride them. The owner here also has horses they rent out to ride."

"Do you think they have one like Silver?"

"I can't tell until we get out of the car. I will have Sadie face time you with Silver."

"Can we talk to Butch too?" Olivia was all smiles. "What about Smokey and Conny's horse Button top." Ames grins. "Fine I will have her face time you guys with the horses."

You want to see your horse too; you can't forget Harmony."

"I will never forget Harmony. You guys remember these horses don't know you and are not like your pet horses. Don't yell and push them."

"We know how to ride. When the guys come to work, we ride their horses, and we never fall off. Stop talking like we are bubbies."

Evan Maximus Driggers watch your temper. We will not get loud or rude with each other or anyone else."

Evan looked at the floor. "I'm sorry, mummy. I won't do it again."

"You made me a deal. You are not allowed to grow up on me." Amelia made an angry face at him. He knew she was teasing and started laughing.

"I am sorry mum. I will not let my temper make you sad."

"I know you won't you are a good boy. Even good boys make mistakes once in a while, but they have to own up to them and make them right."

Evan unbuckled and jumped over the seat and hugged her. "I love you mum."

"I love you too. Why don't we get out of the car and have fun."

They had an enjoyable time at the stables. Mitchell was on his best behavior. He only lost his temper one time when one of the men that worked there tried to help Amelia off the horse. "I will help her she doesn't need your help."

Amelia gives Mitchell a stern look, then turns to the guy. "Thank you for the help."

Mitchell shrugged his shoulders. "Sorry. I am trying."

"Mum this horse looks like Silver, but she doesn't ride the same."

"All horses are different just like people. She can be different but still be good." Olivia nodded then pet the horse.

"You guys thank your da for the nice day." The three thanked him, then went to the car.

Mitchell wanted more time with his family. "Why don't we stop and get lunch. It is late and the kids are most likely hungry. We are out now anyway."

"I know the kids are hungry so it would be nice to get them something to eat." Amelia looks at the kids. "What do you guys think."

"We are hungry."

"You heard them let's get some food."

When they got in the car with the kids Mitchell asked. "What do you guys want to eat?"

Not one of them answered him. He turned around in his seat and asked again. "What would you guys want to eat for lunch?"

"It's mum's turn to pick."

"Evan, you pick mum doesn't want to pick and you are next."

"I want steak with shrimpies and potatoes."
