Shannon walked into the barn. She quickly said hi to Rocky and then fed the cats like Ava had instructed the day before. It was pretty straightforeward and easy so it didn't take long. After she was finished she went looking for Ava to see if there was anything else she could do.

Ava was putting her saddle back in the tack room after riding and grooming Danny. As she was walking back to the office, she noticed Shannon. "Hi Shannon. How's it going?" she asked with a smile.

Hi, not bad and yourself? Shannon replied politely with a smile.

Ava shrugged. "Can't complain." she said with a smile. "So. What can I do for you?" she asked, politely as always.

I finished feeding the cats, is there anything else you'd like me to do? Shannon asked.

Ava thought for a moment. "I don't have anything today Shannon, sorry. You can see if any of the other riders need some help." she said with a smile.

Shannon smiled. Okay, I'll see if anyone needs help. She said.

"Okay." Ava said with a smile. "See you later." she called as she walked into the office.
((Should Josh be in this post?))

See you. Shannon said with a smile. She walked back over to where the stalls where and played with Rocky for a little bit. She had no idea what time it was.
((Shure.))

Josh walked into the barn. He was just coming to feed, water, turn out, and groom Rocky. He wasn't going to ride today. He didn't feel like it. He walked over to Rocky's stall, not even noticing Shannon at first. He just thought it was a groom or a student, playing with Rocky. When he got closer, he realized who it was. He sighed and walked into Rocky's stall. He just kind of nodded in Shannon's direction, like if she was a stranger who he was just saying good day to. He patted Rocky and lead him outside.

Shannon sighed when Josh barely aclowledged her. That hurt a lot. Josh, wait. Shannon said. She needed to say something, anything, to try to get him to not be mad at her any more.

Josh didn't hear Shannon call him. He unclipped Rocky's lead rope and let the gelding loose in the paddock. He hopped up on the fence and just watched the horse gallop around. Josh sighed. he couldn't stop thinking about Shannon and he felt bad for basically ignoring him but he was hurting, and seeing her just made it worse.

Shannon followed Josh outside. She had no idea what she was going to say, but she needed to say something to make things better between them. It hurt so much not being able to talk to him like she had before. She walked up beside where he was sitting on the fence. She just stood there silently for a bit trying to think of something to say.

Josh couldn't stand seeing Shannon like that. He felt awful. "Hey. Shan. It's okay. I'm not mad at you." he told her softly. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders. He really wasn't mad at her. he was just hurt.

Shannon rested her head against his chest. She was glad that he had said that he wasn't mad, but she still felt awful about the whole thing. I am so, so sorry. She said softly.
