Gabriel guided his horse back to the Troyer house to pick up Emily. He felt bad for Lucy. He knew she was embarrassed, but she had no reason to be. He was actually glad that he could help her.

He saw Emily waiting near the barn for him as he pulled onto the property. He frowned at her unhappy expression. He pulled up close to her and started to get out to help, but she was already climbing into the front seat. “What’s wrong, Em?”

And yet, he cared for her as more than a friend. And that wasn’t good. Maybe he should avoid her for a while until he could think things through. If only he could make himself stay away from her...
