As Ryan enters the shop, everyone looks up, several laughing at her antics. Eli gives her a silly grin. "What? Oh, were you gone?" He shakes his head, wagging a finger at her. "You know how to scare a fellow though. We thought maybe you really were in the slammer. I didn't know you were gone though until I got here. Wanted to tell you something."
Leo has rolled out from under the car and looks up at Ryan, glad to see she was back. "I started on the other car," he informs, gesturing with his thumb to Ryan's bay. "Figured you wouldn't want Miles to win today." He gives her a wink. "Everything... alright?"
Ryder is still smiling and follows Thirteen, donning his jacket and going outside with her. It was chilly out but sunny, making it pleasant for a walk. Taking her hand, Ryder leads, pointing into shop windows and making jokes just to see her smile.
By the time they go around several blocks and back again, Trent's truck is parked on the street again and he's behind the wheel waiting, obviously having seen they weren't inside.
"Looks like he's ready to head back." Ryder gives Thirteen's hand a squeeze. "Maybe we can brush a horse again when we get back." He helps her into the passenger side so she can sit in the middle, then slides in beside her, shutting the door.
"All ready?" Trent looks at them both, making sure they buckle up before he pulls away. As he drives, he reaches behind his seat, pulling out a little sack and handing it to Thirteen. Inside was a pretty little album with rainbow colors that could hold about fifteen pictures or so. "I thought...." He shrugs. "...maybe you'd want to take some pictures before you leave and.... keep them with you."
