Postpone

JT quirks a grin n surrender. He didn't like putting Amanda in his position, but if she was that willing and really wanted to stay, he wouldn't argue with her. He knew better - it would just be a lost battle anyway.

"Yeah... okay. Don't go anywhere. I'll be right back."

Giving Bree one last look of assurance, he heads out of the room to find his way into the dining room and find some breakfast. Once he and Bree and Amanda had some of their own nourishment, Becky came around with some clean clothes offered by her and Rosetta.

Jim chuckles and nods. "Don't I know it. We're busy now and we don't even have any guests here. Maybe if Annie stays, we won't need to hire out for seasonal kitchen and housekeeping health. Between Becky and Rosalyn and part-time with Wendy, Jade and Cindy... maybe hiring out will be one less financial burden."

He shrugs and turns back to breakfast. "Well... it's in God's hands like always."

Hearing the horn honk, Gage recognizes the sound and chuckles. "Give me two minutes to change my jeans and get some socks and shoes on."

Getting up, he carries the phone with him until he reaches the end of the cord. "Nah... nah, I think I got enough money. You wind up paying for too much anyway."

The jar rattles as he dumps out one dollar bills and loose change. "Okay... be right out. Don't go anywhere."

Gage ends the call and goes to find a pair of cargo jeans that don't have any holes in the knees or paint splattered on them. Quickly washing his face and splashing on some aftershave, he goes for his socks and shoes, finished getting ready within three minutes instead of two.

Down the stairs and outside, Gage ambles to the car, his hands tucked in his hoodie. Getting into the passenger side, his eyes fall on Sapphire. "Thank you." 

Sparky waits for Faith to sit on the saddle, taken completely off guard as she approaches him instead. Too surprised, he doesn't even move, stunned as she kisses him. But her lips were so soft and warm... His eyes fall shut and his hands automatically move to rest lightly on her waist. Returning the gentle kiss feels so inviting and tastes so sweet as his face leans into her hand.

Blinking as she pulls away, he knows his face must be beet red. He'd kissed women before, but for some reason, this was different. For some reason, Faith was different.

Seeing her try out the saddle and question him, he's still stunned. "Um..." He clears his throat. "Yeah... expert." Realizing what an idiot he must sound like, a laugh surfaces. He sets his hands on his hips and looks down at the floor a moment, trying to compose himself.

Wandering to the front of the saddle, he sets his hands on it and lifts his head to look Faith in the eye, the brim of his his hat touching her forehead. "You realize that, um... if I'm going to put you on a horse that, um... I need my wits about me. Another one of those and we might have to postpone your lesson to tomorrow."
