Chapter 15

“I don’t understand what you’re saying,” Ashley spoke into the phone pinching the bridge of her nose as she listened to her father on the other end of the line. “They want me to stay and do some workshops and lessons?”

“Yes,” her father’s deep voice boomed. “They’ll pay your usual rate, and then top whatever is earned as a gift to the hospital. You need to do this, Ash.”

“I don’t know Dad,” Ashley said. “Mr. Holliday and I seem to have a very different take on things and knock heads at every turn.” For a brief second, she thought of the secret kisses she and Collin had shared, and she had to admit that she didn’t mind that kind of head butting.

“Maybe he’ll learn a thing or two from you,” her dad urged, “then at the end of the training, they’ll do a showcase of riders and you two can do that swap thing again.”

Ashley groaned not wanting a repeat of that event or the aftermath, but perhaps this time, if Collin would just go along and loosen up things would be better. It could prove to be a huge hit.

“Alright,” she finally agreed. “But only because they agreed to donate to the charity again.”

“That’s my girl,” her dad chirruped over the line. “Go get ‘em,” he added as the phone went dead.

Ashley brushed her teeth preparing for bed. The morning had started out so lovely. She wasn’t even sure how things had turned into such a mess.

After the tragic ending of the sleigh ride with Collin, she had tried to do a bit of riding, but her heart wasn’t in it, and she soon slipped back to her room to read a book.

Thanksgiving dinner had only made her miss home and family more, so when her father had called it had lifted some of the gloom that has settled over her on what was usually one of her favorite days.

Could she work with Mr. Holliday, and do the things her father had asked? Perhaps she wouldn’t need to see the stubborn, pig-headed, mule-hearted man again for a long time and that was just fine with her. If he couldn’t see that his uptight attitude was the problem then that was his worry, not hers.

Turning to look out the window of her corner room, she gazed at the twilight glow of sunset. Here in Alaska, at this time of the year the sun began to go down early, but being so far up on the globe meant that the light still covered the island in a soft gray glow.

Pushing all thoughts of Collin Holliday from her mind, Ashley pulled the shades and toppled into bed. Tomorrow she would be up before any of the guests and work each horse until they all felt wearily accomplished.
