Steven lifted the heavy pitch fork, the last of the dirty shavings. He wiped the sweat from his head and looked down at his damp shirt. Looking round to make sure no one was there he took it off and threw it on top of the muck heap. He patted Showtyme as he stuck his head over the half door of his stable. "Good boy." he sighed. Suddenly through the quietness of the farm car tires could be heard on the gravel. Steven frowned "Who's this?" he asked quietly. He stuck his head round the door. It was a small yellow sports car parked next to the house. Looking for his shirt he realised it now had manuer all over the front. "Oh well." he grumbled stepping out of the barn. "Hello?" he shouted. A slim woman stepped out of the car, pulling her large dark sun glasses up and resting them on the top of her head. "Steven!" she shreiked. Running as fast as she could with her high heeled shoes she embraced him tightly. Steven was took back more in horror than suprise "Laur...Laurette?" he stutted feebly wrapping his arms around her politely. "Are you suprised?" she smiled brightly. "Kinda'... What are you doing here?" he asked, in stirn voice. "I've been thinking...I've missed you a lot since we split up. I wanted to ask you if we could try again?" she said, looking up at him with large puppy-dog eyes. "Laurette. Look I don't think thats a g-" she cut him off.
"Please, Steven I've came all this way. Just give it a chance." she whimpered, gentley sliding her hand into his. Steven sighed and looked down at the floor. Ashamed he answered, "Okay. One more go." he sighed giving a half smile. Laurette's face immediately lit up and she hugged him again. "I've changed. I promise." she whispered in his ear. Some how Steven didn't believe her. Then she un wrapped her arms and strode over to her car. She looked in then turned back "Can you give me a little help?" she asked smiling sweetly. Steven reluctantly moved over to the car. "Oh, and have you got any spare stables going?" she asked biting her lip. "Yeah, why?" he asked wondering why she wanted stables. "I've got two horses." she smiled. Steven cocked his head and raised his eye brows, pushing for more information. "A young filly and a stallion." she grinned.
