Josie closed the lid of her laptop and rubbed her eyes. She’d liked to have said that they were making incredible progress on the show, which they were, but it seemed like it just wasn’t enough.

But they still had two months before the show, which meant there was still hope. She glanced at the clock. Though they usually didn’t practice on Sundays, the trick riders had asked for the extra practices after church to make sure they had their tricks solid for the show. Kayla had asked her to come watch her trick today, and it felt good to see how the teenager was starting to trust her. Not that Josie and Brady were even close to coming to that point, but sometimes Josie found herself wondering what if. She had too much on her plate, though, to give it any serious consideration. Between her full-time job, trying to save the stables, mending her relationship with her cousins and getting to know her newfound uncle, she was over capacity to deal with these new growing emotions.

She walked past Brady’s office, where Brady looked like he was studying a spreadsheet.

“You’re going to miss Kayla ride,” she said, leaning in the doorway.

Brady grabbed his hat off his desk and set it on his head. “Yeah, I know. I was just hoping to get a little further on figuring out these numbers. The Garcias have been great about showing me the information I need to come up with to create a good working budget for the stables, but your father didn’t keep it in an organized way that anyone else could understand.”

Josie laughed as he stepped out into the corridor with her. “And yet he could find everything so easily. It’s really frustrating trying to figure out his system. I’m so glad the Garcias were willing to donate their time to help you sort through it.”

They walked outside toward the main arena. “That’s what gives me the most hope for the stables,” Brady said. “We aren’t where we need to be, but I’m finding that the more I get word out, the more people come from unexpected places willing to help.”

When they got to the arena, Kayla was already warming up. Maddie was sitting by herself in the stands, looking like she was studying some papers.

Josie started toward her, but Maddie held up a folder. “I’m trying to get some work done in between when Kayla rides,” Maddie said.

Even though Maddie was slightly curt, it was nice that Maddie felt comfortable enough to tell her when it wasn’t a good time to sit together.

“No problem,” Josie said. “I peeked in on the costume room last night, and the costumes are looking great. I’ll leave you to your work, but I didn’t want to let an opportunity to tell you how impressed I am pass us by.”

Maddie looked up at her and smiled. “Thank you. The residents at the nursing home have been working really hard. It’s been great to see their enthusiasm.
