Perhaps Alex shouldn’t have been so open to volunteer to go ahead and starting teaching classes so soon after he had just arrived in Edens Town, but it didn’t matter at that point. All he had to do was get through the day and then he could tell Cass he was going to take another day or two off before teaching classes. She would understand. For the moment, he needed to get over himself and be courteous and friendly.
After he had made sure Fiona was comfortable to start moving around, Alex began to lead Cosmo around the gates, keeping sure that both horse and girl were alright. It had been a while since he had interacted with any students, since his last few months in Texas had been dedicated to finding new homes for most of the horses that had been homed at Foreaker Stables. Still, it was fairly easy to get back into the familiar routine. He looked to Fiona, feeling a bit awkward with the silence. “So, what made you want to take riding lessons?”
