Sorry

Dani's cheeks move as she smiles at Dalton. "Mmm.... yes, I think you can be both. Would that make you a centaur? You know, half horse, half man?"

Laughing again, she finally releases her hold, sliding down to the ground. Coming around the side of Dalton, she takes a deep breath of the warm air and looks down the trail. "Alright, trail, here we come."

Conversation is struck up once more as the two take a brisk walk. Sometimes though, it's just the sound of the wind in the trees and birds singing that fills the air. The lulls in chatting didn't seem to matter.

"When you get back to work, be sure to notice one of Misty's fingers," Dani comments, grinning. "You'll have to see what my brother's been up to."


Bret sighs, wincing a little. He shakes Charlotte's hand lightly, running a finger along her own. "Yeah... I know." He closes his eyes again, trying to work everything out in his mind. He'd been racing for months now, and the first actual competition outside if their own men, they wreck. What were the odds. "I'm sorry," he says quietly, opening his eyes once more to find Charlotte. "I should have paid more attention... I should have done something different out there and this wouldn't have happened."

He looks to her with question, having realized he hadn't asked yet. "Is... Landon okay?"
