Chapter 20 Mistake (d)

"We just… had a little bit of an argument and I wouldn t want this day to end for us in that manner," I explained, my lips in a firm line.

"Well, she did fetch for Leo and rode away. I guess if anyone knows where she went, that would be you," Grandpa Ben answered, smiling as he put a hand on my shoulder. Grandpa Ben is so sure that I know where Laura would be. Perhaps I m not thinking enough. Perhaps, I m in so much of a panic, I forgot to put myself in her shoes. "Well, I need to go back inside. Should you find Laura, make her come home," Grandpa Ben stood up, me following suit. "If she doesn t want to come home, let her be."

I nodded with a smile. Grandpa Ben is amazing in his ways, approaching this kind of manner with calmness and kindness. The world would be a better place with more people like him.

Grandpa Ben proceeded back inside of the bakery. I hopped on Lady and began making my way to the hills. It s the one place where I know she would be right now.
