Hehe sorry guys for the wait, had a little writters block but all is fixed now haha.

I woke up and quickly pulled on jeans to cover my scars and then quickly pulled on a bra and shirt as Brooks turned around so he could see me.
"Why you always outs bed before I am?" He asked in a sexy morning voice.
"Cause I'm always awake before you," I said bluntly.
"But I miss my snuggles," he said as he rolled over again patting the empty space next to him.
I just reached over and grabbed a pillow off the floor and threw it at him, "Your just a sook."
"Can you blame me? I haven't seen you in 3 nearly 4 months, I just wanted snuggles," he said looking at me innocently.
I just shook my head, "Ive got to go into town, I start work today. So sorry but you miss out on your snuggles."
He just rubbed his face with his hands and rolled out of bed, his boxers ridding a little to low and he groaned as he got out and got dressed, "well I have an eventful day today too, lots of paddocks to go check 'n' stuff," he said with a laugh, "I'll go make breaky?" he asked.
I looked at the time, "Sorry I'll have to skip, I'm already running a little late, sorry bub," and as I walked out the door I kissed him goodbye, before running to the ute.

I pulled up out the front of the clinic. I got out, locked my boxes on my tray and walked in. I was greeted by a young brunet receptionist with blue eyes and work boots, maybe only 19.
"Hey, um I'm Audrey May Ison, the new Vet Doctor," I said as I shook her hand.
"Audrey M. Ison? The real Audrey M. Ison?" she asked, excitement clear in her eyes.
"Haha yes the one and only. You into horses?" I asked her.
"Yeah I'm studying to become an equine vet, and I'm the local Camp draught champ 2 years running in my age group and my Uncle lives on a stud and I go and help and I followed you through the rodeo when you were in America and those horses that you broke and trained-" I stopped her there, feeling a little bit creeped out.
"Haha yeah, thanks," I said rubbing the back of my neck.
"Oh I'm sorry, got a little carried away," she apologised.
I shook my head and with a laugh and replied, "it's all good, now where do I start?" and she handed me a folder. I made my way to my examination room, I took of my engagement ring so I didn't loose it and put it in my wallet and got started as I called for the first patient.

I got home, exhausted from my first day, I did two road trips from here to tim buck too, one for a horse that had colic and then a cat as well as about half a dozen pups that needed to be micro-chipped and vaccinated. I loved my line of work but at the moment I just need a sleep, but I still had to go out and re-dress that mares dressings and get her walking around.

I went up to my room and locked the door, stripped down and I looked at my legs. Silver scars traces their way up both my legs, distorting my calf muscle, where chunks of muscle were lost. There was a quick sharp knock on the door which snapped me out of my daze, "Hold on a sec," I shouted at the door as I quickly pulled on a relatively clean pair of jeans before I unlocked the door, I chucked on a loose singlet shirt before shouting to Brooks that he could come in. As he walked in the door, I kissed him on the cheek as I passed him on my way back out. He had confused look on his face as I passed him, I mouthed the word "Mare" then he understood.

I made it out to the stable with one of Brooks collie pups that had taken a liking to me. I gave him a slight pat on the head as he followed. I got in to the stables, walking over to give Denny a pat and the pup gave a hyper yelp in 'hello'. I then walked over to the blue mare's stable with my kit. I opened the half door and walked in. I was greeted with a stiff nod of the head and a huff. I just chuckled and ran my hand down her neck then down to her shoulder feeling all the muscles before picking up her foot and moving it around. I repeated with all four feet before I started undoing her dressings. As I went I observed her behaviour. When she didn't like something her ears would twitch and she would pick up her back foot as if going to kick but she would just put it back down, it was like she was really thinking about kicking but couldn't bring her self to do it.

When I was done I put a halter and lead rope on and quietly led her out with the pup at my heal. I walked passed the house and there was Brooks in just a pair of jeans with the big canon camera taking photos of me.
I tried ignoring him and focus on the mare. Every now and then she would do a full freak out at something, which is fine. It got dark quickly and I wrapped up the walk and took the young pup to his box.
Brooks was inside cooking, god I love him, I walked in and announced that I was having a shower but not with out receiving a smart comment from Brooks claiming that he is going to join me. I came back down 15 minutes later in a set of long pj pants on and a singlet top. I sat down at the table and Brooks places a plate of food in front of me and we ate.

"So how was your fist day at work," he asked starting the conversation.

I swallowed and answered, "well, it was very busy and I met a fan," I said with a chuckle, "of my horse work. The receptionist, she only means well but I was gunna ask her if she wanted me to sign anything, she just kept talking. It was kinda cute, reminded me of when I first met Lee Kernaghan. Any way how was your day?" I asked and the conversation faded and we went to bed.

We woke up the next morning around 5:30 and we got up at the same time and followed a similar ruiten as yesterday, I went to work and Brooks went and checked troughs and fences and such.
I got home around 4 after a relatively busy day again.
I walked in with sweat dripping and dirt smeared across my face. I saw Brooks coming over from the barn, looking pretty similar to me.
"Wanna go for a swim?" he shouted.
I was was almost going to say yes, but that would mean swimmers and showing my legs, and I just couldn't, "Nah sorry, I'm going to keep workin' with that mare," I shouted back.
He came over and picked me up in a mutually sweaty hug, he put me down, "At lest put some shorts on love, its almost 50*C its to hot."
It was sweet to see he cared but there was no way I was putting on shorts, "Nah, I'm good I'll just have a shower later," he just smiled almost sadly as if me new there was something I wasn't telling him. I smiled back reassuringly before walking back to the house and to my room. I entered and stripped down to my underwear, just finished pealing me jeans off, when the door flung open and there was Brooks standing there staring at my legs.
"I can ex-" I tried but I was cut off.
"Audrey you tell me what happened right now," he commanded.
