Clinton's POV

Date: 11/22/15

Location: The Clinton Anderson Ranch

Time: 8:37 P.M.

I just called the police about Andrew. They told me that they would send people out to go find him. I also told them that he was a threat.

"So, what discipline do you do on Moon?" I ask Jessica as we sit on the couch in the living room together. I've been trying to get her mind off of Andrew.

"Oh, I like to do liberty, or trick training. Moon learns quite quickly so I figured I'd teach him some tricks, kind of like what you do. My aunt told me about you, and your method." She pauses, "She told me that it worked and that she tried it on her horse. So I looked up all the videos I could find with you working on horses, and I trained Moon."

"Cool." I pause thinking about how to words I would say in my next sentence. "How would you like it we rode together tomorrow?"

"Oh my gosh, that'd be great." She says, "You are the nicest person I've ever met."

"Oh yeah?" I say blushing a little bit.

"Yeah. I mean you literally take me off the streets, let me stay at your house, let me keep my horse here, I honestly couldn't thank you enough."

"Cool, I'm glad your happy." I smiling at her.

I haven't felt this way about a girl before. I've spent my life with horses and never found a special someone. I work with girls every day, but Jessica's different.

"Yeah, I know this sounds a little stalkerish," She pauses as I chuckle a little bit. "but, I use to go on youtube, and find every single video I could find of you, and watch it, because I was trying to find different horses you worked with, so I could see different techniques you used."

"That's awesome!" I smile. "One of the most important qualities a horseman can possess is the desire to learn. The more knowledge you have, the less frustration you'll encounter."

"Yeah," She pauses nodding her head, "That's right."

"Yeah, so how long a have you been riding horses?" I ask staring into her blue eyes, hoping she'd look at me, but doesn't.

"Well, I started riding horses when I was 6, I then broke my arm at school, so I didn't start riding again, until I was 12 years old, I took lessons on the ranch horses, then we bought Moon, and I took lessons on him. He spooked at everything, and I was too scared to take him on a trail until you said the best thing a for a horse is a good long ride outside. So I did. And he started doing better from there on up."

"Yes, that's right, to get them use to the out doors. The natural resources are your best friend when your training a horse." I smile.
