Jaycee’s POV:

I checked my alarm clock and frowned. I was going to be late if I didn’t hurry up.

I quickly slipped on my grey ankle boots and grabbed my small backpack type purse and slung that on. I quickly checked my appearance in the mirror and was satisfied. I had on my fitted blue jeans and grey knit sweater. Before leaving my room I pulled on my grey beanie and grey hobo knit gloves. I smiled and picked up my phone and left my flat.

Being in Holmes Chapel it’s always somewhat cold. Today it was rather chilly and it just stopped raining, the typical weather in England. My boots squished on the wet rocky dirt road as I walked my way to my job.

As my usual routine, I pulled out my mobile and texted Anne to tell her I was on my way.

“Just left now. Be there in 4 minutes.”

I quickly got a reply saying, “Okay sweetie!(:”

I chuckled and slid my mobile back in my pocket. Anne was a really nice lady and treated me just like she treats her kids.

The walk was really short actually, but then again our town was pretty small. All I had to do was leave my flat’s building, then a short walk through the center of town, and then I was practically there.

I was already in town and passing by Mandeville's Bakery which smelt divine as I passed. I really should stop in there again sometime soon, but not right now since I may already be late.

Even though, Anne didn’t really give me a specific time on when I needed to be there, I just liked sticking to my schedule so I was always on routine.

 I just left the center of town and now I was practically to Anne’s bungalow. The pasture and animals already in sight. I sped up my pace a bit and I pulled out my mobile to check the time. I grinned. I’d made it right on time. 8:00.

As I walked past the small fence the goats started bahing at me and the horse trotted over. I heard the front door cringe open and I looked up to see Anne and her friend Vicky walking towards me. Vicky was really sweet and was here often, walking with Anne.

“Good Morning, Jaycee!!” Anne beamed.

I opened the gate and walked into the yard and smiled at them.

“Morning Anne! Morning, Miss.Vicky!” I waved.

Both came over and gave me a quick hug.

“Chilly out today isn’t it?” Anne joked.

I grinned wider, “It always is here. Do the horses need their sweaters on?”

Vicky chuckled, “That still sounds so odd, even though I know what they are.”

All three of us laughed causing all the animals to stir.

“I would appreciate it if you did, hun. Vicky and I are going out into town. Going to pick up a few groceries to cook later. Robin is inside, though I’m pretty sure he’s asleep.”

I nodded, “Want me to just do the usual today?”

I’ve been a stable hand for them for almost 7 months.

“Yes, please. And I guess if Robin asks anything then that, but I don’t think he will.”

I nodded again and smiled.

“So we’ll be back soon. Oh! Gemma should be coming around 10, but I’m expecting to be back by then. We’re having a get together tonight and Jaycee I will not take no for an answer!”

I chuckled, “There’s no way I could ever pass up on your food, Anne. It’s too good! So count me in.”

She smiled, “Good! We’ll see you when we get back, dear. Goodbye!”
