"That was hard." I say as we managed to tie Buck in the cross ties.

"Yeah." Chase says.

"Ok, let's get going with brushing him." I said.

"Good idea." Chase said.

"Get the brush closer to him on an angle where he can see. And put it in front of his nostrils." I tell Chase.

"Like this?" He asks as he puts the brush in front of Buck so he can smell it.

"Yes. That's perfect." I tell him.

2 hours later.

"That's enough work for him for today." I tell Chase.

"Ok." He simply says. "How about keeping the rest of the day for us?"

"Sure." I say as I move closer to him.

Chase put his hands on my waist and started to pull me closer. That's when I noticed we were right in front of Buck. Before I had time to move, he bit my bare arm.

I screamed in pain and Chase pulled me away from Buck.

"Thanks." I manage to say under gritted teeth.

"Are you all right? Let me get some disinfectant and a bandage." He says.

"Let's go to the house, there are some bandages and disinfectant." I say, still clutching my arm.

"I'll carry you." Chase put an arm under my legs and one behind my back and lifted me up. I leaned my head into his chest and started crying a bit.

Before I knew it, we were in the house.

"Let's get this thing cleaned up." Chase said.

I looked at my arm and grimaced. There was blood everywhere. Chase cleaned the blood off.

"Iodine and bandages in the washroom." I said as Chase lay me down on the sofa. He went into the wash room and came back out with a bottle of iodine and a bandage.

I grimaced in pain as the iodine stung my arm.

"Sorry." Chase said.

"It's all right. It's normal that it stings a bit." I say, feeling a bit weak from the loss of blood.

Chase bandaged my arm. He bent down to kiss my forehead and the got up.

"That's all I get?" I ask in a weak voice.

He shook his head and smiled. Then he bent down and kissed me, on the lips this time.

"I love you." I whisper and then I close my eyes and fall asleep.

"I love you too." I heard Chase say very faintly.
