Elusive Echoes
“Ricky was grooming Ginger, who finally looked worn out and less skittish. Mel felt Ricky's gaze on her as she removed the saddle from Lacey's back. He continued to brush Ginger, keeping his thoughts to himself, though clearly he was having thoughts.
"Do you want me to take care of Lacey for you, Mel?" Surreptitiously dabbing at her tearing eyes, she shook her head. "I can take care of my horse, Ricky, thanks." She picked up the grooming mitt and began to use it on Lacey.

The hand on her shoulder was warm and firm.
