Free Will

  "He might very well not stay and realizing his calling is back here at the ranch with horses, but maybe he needs to be the one to make that desition and not feel forced into it."

Rosetta didn't mean to make it sound like Mick was forcing him and she hoped he knew what she meant. The reason Dylan had come here though was not of his own will. It was to try and keep him safe. If Dylan made the choice to come back and work on the ranch things could be a lot different for them.

   "Letting go is hard. I had to do it with Katie, and I am not looking forward to it with BJ, but it is part of life."

   "You are old, I think I need to trade you for a younger model!"

Scarlet smiled looking at Eli and leaning in to give him a long kiss before pulling away her eyes sparkling.

   "Mmmm...Maybe I won't trade you in. I don't want to have to teach someone else to kiss as good as you and I think a movie with you sounds perfect."

Setting her hand on Hunter's leg Ryan looked at him and smiled. As long as she was with Hunter Ryan was happy with them doing anything. Maybe a little quiet time alone though would be nice.

   "How about a movie...at your place. We can stop and get snacks or something."

Chewing on a crust from her pizza Destiny looked at Zan. She wished she had the ambition to walk this far but sadly she didn't. Maybe after all the pizza she just eat though she should have.

   "I'm happy I did too. These are all really nice people, even with the rough edges. I drove tonight."

   "Because it's the right thing to do."

Sam thought for a long moment cocking her head to the side.

   "Were you really happy at the Agency? If you look deep down...were you truly happy? I know you felt you belonged and there was a bigger meaning to your life. But what is life where you can't do what you want? The world brings pain...but thats what makes the pleasure so much better. To know its real and not just someone else pulling the strings."

Moving on the best again so she was on the edge now and her feet were on the ground Sam sat for a long moment. She new this was all new to Aaron, and a lot of it he didn't understand but she hope she was explaining well enough.

   "Kind of like this weekend...we are going to the lake, would you be able to just do that on a whim in the Agency? The choices here are yours, but so are the consequences. But it's your own feel will to live your life, and build that architect if you want, or work in a kitchen being a cook."
