Beth didn't notice as Sam came back into the arena, she'd just mounted after setting up a course of fences ranging from 6ft to 6ft9, some spreads, some crosspoles and some uprights. She turned Gypsy into the first fence, keeping her horse steady and straight into the middle of the jump, she happily cleared it and turned into the next fence. The course was simple, containing a few sharp turns and some doubles and some wide turns. Luckily the outdoor arena was nearly as big as the indoor one, so a course could easily be set up. Gypsy's body easily carried her and Beth over the fences, Beth's position as perfect as her horses as they cleared the course together, cantering away from the last fence with a professional look about them.

Sam smiled before leaving the arena. He said goodbye to his horses and got into his land rover.

Beth slowed Gypsy to a walk and gave her a long rein, the mare gratefully lowered her head until it was touching the floor and Beth opened the gate and left the arena after shutting the gate behind Gypsy. As she rode back through the stableyard, she noticed Sams car was gone. Nice of him to say goodbye..

Sam hoped Beth would see the note he had left on the door of her office.

Beth sighed and walked through the stable yard and then to her office, she saw a note on the door and read it, it said..

Beth, Sorry about this, you were busy and I didn't want to disturb, you looked so .. entranced. Anyway, I just remembered that I needed to take Tom to the dentist, but listen, how about we meet up later? Say around 5? In the park. If you're not there, I'll understand. Sam xxx

Beth smiled when she finished the note and pushed open the door to the office. She sat down in her chair and sighed, but happily this time. She looked up at the clock and noticed it was three pm, she had lots of insurance things for the horses to fill in still so she got started, signing, filing, signing, filing, interesting..

Sam stopped the car. "Right, stop complaining Tom, alright?" Sam said, getting out of the car. Tom hated the dentist, and he had just had to have one of his teeth pulled out. Sam opened the front door to a greeting of slobber from the rotties and a high pitched bark from Pepper. "Hey, you're home!" Gina called from the living room. "Yeh, we are." Sam said, as he entered the living room. "OH NO THE TIME!!" Sam yelled, seeing the clock. It was 10 to 5. Sam ran upstairs and jumped in the shower, washing his hair in double quick time. He jumped out and ran to find something to wear. The hardest part! Something smart..yet casual. Sam looked and found: Perfect. "I'll see you guys later!" He called, rushing out the front door and climbing into his BMW.

Beth finished the paperwork, proud of herself. She looked up at the clock and nearly screamed, ten to five!! HOW WAS SHE MEANT TO GET READY IN TEN MINUTES, NEVERMIND GET HOME. Oh my god, oh my god. She got up and grabbed her keys, locked her office and ran out to her land rover, jumped in and drove home. She quickly rushed into the house, showered and changed into .. She ran down the stairs after brushing her hair quickly and got into her car, driving to the park.

Sam looked around. Ten past five and still no sign. Sam sighed, he knew all this as too good to be true. He turned to leave when he caught sight of a car. Maybe it might be her this time...

Beth pulled up and got out of the car. She saw Sam and locked her car, she walked over to Sam and smiled. "I'm so sorry. I was still at the barn 'til ten to five." Beth told him.

Sam grinned. "Coincidentally, that was the time I came home with Tom." Sam smiled and kissed Beth on the cheek.

"Okay great well, take a seat." Sam said, indicating the swings.

Beth smiled and sat on a swing.

Sam sat beside her and swung a little, his trainers scuffing the ground. Nothing to do, nothing to say, maybe its not meant to be?

Beth swung a tiny bit on the swings, her trainers kicking up the dusty ground. Why can't I say anything!!
