Fear of the

Glancing over at the table where Eric was Ashlee just watched for a long moment before turning back to Travis and letting out a sigh. She didn't like being upset with Eric, but she was. Maybe if Travis talked to him it would help? She wasn't sure.

   "You can talk to him if you think it will help. I honestly don't know, though. I've never been at odds like this before with my mom or...anyone."

Finishing off her last bit of food Ashlee looks up again and smiled. This all felt so odd and she didn't like it, but correcting it was hard too. Finding Travis' foot under the table Ashlee smiled as she rubbed it with her own. 

   "If you want to talk with him we can, maybe...together?"

Hearing Hunter's comment Ryan's cheeks went red but she was happy he was playing along more than just razzing her. It made her feel better about her slip up. Hunter had a way of not making her feel silly. She was thankful for that.

Once they were done with brushing Ryan followed Hunter and watched as he mounted.  She tried to take everything in he was doing and how he was doing it.

  "Oh yeah, the easy part...huh."

Taking the reins and her other foot in the stirrup Ryan went to get up but as the horse moves she jumped back as nerves ran through her. Looking at Hunter she felt silly she loved to go fast in a car but this scared her. Trying a few more times the last time she almost had it before the horse moved once again and she moves away.

   "I can't do it."

Ryan was never one to give up but this was scary to her. At least in a car she had control, she was what was going to happen, she was in charge. But with this horse, she wasn't and it was the unknown that held her back.

It was nice to meet Ty and even nice he went through some stuff with her. He was smart just like Hal had said. She couldn't help but wonder why he didn't do more around the office than just clean. Hearing he had to go Sam gave a nod.

   "Thanks for keeping an eye out on Aaron at night. You have a great eye. It was good to meet you as well."

Once Ty was gone Sam sand down in her chair and just swiveled back and forth for a long second. Stopping and looking to Hal she gave a nod.

   "He really does seem smart. Gives me even more, confidence having him watch Aaron at night. "

Moving forward and watching the footage again Sam just studied it. She was impressed about Aaron and the lock. She was happy she had gotten some others too. She would change it out in a day or so. But there still was that unanswered question she wondered about. 

   "What do you think he does in the break room at night? That has got me perplexed the most at the moment."
