Boring Stuff

Zach grins, enjoying the fact that Beth caught his sense of humor and didn't mind. Following her inside, he's quite familiar with the surroundings, but lets her take the lead since he wasn't sure which wing her sister was in. Come to think of it, he really didn't know why her sister was here at all or how severe her condition was. But he was more than willing to be here, especially if it meant that perhaps he was making a new friend.

Slowly entering the room behind Beth, he just watches her for a moment, taking note that Sarah did not speak. Though a very pretty young lady, she had no expression, other than her eyes following Beth's movements.

Cautiously, Zach moves forward to come closer. Squatting down in front of Sarah, he offers her a broad smile. "Hi, Sarah. I'm glad to meet you." He glances around the room. "I really like it in here. It's nice and bright with the sunshine coming in your window."

His smile widens. "Kind of like your sister. She's like a ray of sunshine too, isn't she?" He was used to not receiving responses. Some days it was like this with his uncle, though every once in a while he'd get a bit of a smile or a conversation of about ten words. Sarah was different. He didn't know what was wrong or what she'd been through, but the room had an odd sense of peace about it.

Zach remains lowered where he is, letting his eyes roam Sarah's face but careful not to look her in the eye too long, lest it be threatening to her. "I'm really glad Beth brought me to meet you."


Jeff was rather relieved that Stacy wasn't upset with him, and his smile proved it. He did catch her blush though, and made a mental note to use his head a little more from now on.

Chuckling, he shrugs. "Not much on my list the rest of the day I guess. If Angel knew how much I'd done already this morning she'd probably order me not to do anything else. But I'll probably wind up cleaning stalls or something - the glamor job, you know."


Eric almost chokes on his sip of coffee from the laugh that catches in his throat. "If we had ten of you around here, we wouldn't need any other ranch hands," he muses. "Pretty soon we're gonna be down to the boring stuff like counting hay bales."

He grins though, so she would know he was just teasing - he thoroughly enjoyed simply watching her enjoy being here. He wished her birthday would come sooner so she'd have some more fun things to do with the horses.

"I think a couple of the horses need some good baths today." That was something he hadn't done with her yet, and it could be fun. "You could even braid their manes and tails if you want."

Introductions

Beth can't help but laugh a little again. Zach had a good sense of humor, she liked that. It seemed to make the whole becoming friends a little easier. Being able to laugh it helped mask the little bit of fear, and shyness she felt as well.

"No your not helping but thats alright. I still think your pretty cool."

As Zach stands Beth moves a little to the side moving her fallen purse strap back onto her shoulder. Giving a nod to Zach she starts forward leading the way to her sisters room. Passing a few nurses Beth greets them.

Finally stopping outside the room Beth gives a little knock before entering the room. Sitting in a rocking chair over by the window was a lovely woman with long black hair neatly pulled back into a braid. Giving a smile Beth enters holding the door before going over to Sarah and giving her a hug.

"Hey Sis, How are you feeling today?"

Receiving no answer Beth doesn't skip a beat use to it but not leading on to her sister that it bother her or that it wasn't normal at all.

"I'm a little tired today but in a pretty good mood. I hope you don't mind I brought some company with me."

Waving Zach over Beth gives another smile before bending down in front of her sister and taking her hand in her own. Sometimes it was hard to talk to her and never get a reply but Beth was happy she had her to talk to anyways.

"Sarah this is my new friend Zach. Zach this is my sister Sarah."

Looking at Jeff and giving a smile Stacy is silent for a moment. She wasn't offended last night at all by Jeff's actions. She still wasn't sure how to feel but she was far from offended. It had come and kind of a suprise to have been kissed but in a way it was kind of nice too.

"No No your ok Jeff. It takes more than that to offended me for sure."

Taking a sip of her coffee Stacy falls quiet again for a moment her eyes never leaving Jeff. Searching his face, pondering his actions and admiring his features for a moment. Finally breaking her stare a little color comes to her cheeks.

"So whats on the to do list today?"

Sitting down Ashlee holds her smile. She had felt bad for Eric, and she still did that his first cup was wasted but thats where this one came in. It could be just as good if not better.

Moving a little to get comfortable Ashlee perks up a little bit as Eric mentions her school work. She had been working hard on it all morning and in a way she was kind of waiting for him to says something.

"I got it all done this morning. After lunch I planned on coming to find you. I even got my homework for the weekend done too so if you need help I can help than too."
