Chapter 15

Magdalena

Monday came all too soon and I was nowhere near understanding what had occurred on Friday night. When Weston was around, my whole body tingled and my mind turned to mush, but the nerves always got the better of me and I had no clue how to stop it. They were getting better, but I didn’t know how I felt about the feelings I got when he was around. The toughest part about those feelings was that I had no one I could ask. No one that I could turn to when things got tough to lean on. There was only me, and my mind was nowhere near being in the best shape to give my own self advice. He confused me to no end, and I didn’t know what I would do regarding how I felt when he was around, but I did know one thing. I wasn’t quite ready for what I felt for him, and I didn’t know how to stop it.

While I cleaned today, I’d decided that the best course of action would be avoidance. That was until I could figure everything out in my mind. I checked the time and realized that Weston and Clyde should be returning soon. I went out to the barn and got Shadow ready for our daily ride. Today was extra chilly, and I made sure that I grabbed my thick socks and the biggest coat I could find. I couldn’t get the chill out of my body, and I stayed wrapped up in sweaters all day; which was odd for me considering I was always hot-natured.

Shadow and I reached our hill and I hopped off, both of us walking over to the bench. She knew the routine just as well as I did. Only today she lay down at my feet and looked out over the horizon with me, instead of grazing or seeking attention the way that she normally did. The moment we’d gotten settled, I allowed my mind to be free of all thoughts, taking in the scenery and the feeling this place evoked inside of me.

I was so lost in thought that when I felt something graze my hand, I almost jumped out of my own skin. If it weren’t for the fact that I recognized the spark that coursed through me, I probably would’ve screamed. Taking a deep breath, I turned toward the person sitting beside me. So much for avoiding him.

“I figured lightly grazing your hand was safer than speaking,” he stated with the sly grin that I’d grown accustomed to seeing when he spoke to me.

“You’re probably right, even though you still scared me a little.”

“I just can’t win. I think I’m just destined to scare you when I come around,” he laughed as he put his arm on the back of the bench and turned toward me. I made sure that I still had a tight hold on Shadow’s reins as I mimicked his posture and turned toward him, resting my left hand under my cheek to hold up my head.
