Spencer’s POV

Back at the ranch, my family wanted to celebrate with me. The only thing I wanted to do was find Ashley. The fiery brunette left with the others to feed the animals and get them settled for the night including Thunder. I wanted to settle him but my mother had other plans for us that night. My older clone, only in looks, rattled off a bunch of crap about what I needed to do at nationals next month. I wasn’t listening though. Why should I want to be told how I could have done better when I just won? By a landslide, I might add.

Several hours later, not really it just felt like it, I rushed off to my bedroom. Ash wasn’t there. Sighing, I grabbed my things for the shower hoping she would be here when I returned.

Disappointment ran through me, when I returned from my shower, she was not here. I think she’s avoiding me again. What is she so scared of? I should be scared and avoiding her but no it’s the other way around. Girls are so confusing sometimes.

Forty-five minutes later and still no sign. I gave up and went to sleep maybe I will be able to talk to her morning. Closing my eyes, I knew I was going to be dreaming of her tonight.

Ashley’s POV

Sleeping on the floor is not the best idea I’ve ever had. My back is killing me. I’m just thankful that Mads and Ky let me crash here with them. I don’t want to avoid Spencer but she can’t break my heart if she can’t find me.

Breakfast was tense. I’m sure I could have cut through it with a knife. Spencer wouldn’t look at me the whole time. I did notice the red rim eyes though. She had been crying. Maybe I should have talked to her last night. I’m such a dumbass! After morning chores, I will find her and make everything right.

I’ve never worked so fast in my life. Mucking out stalls, collecting eggs, and washing dishes where done in record time this morning. I looked around the ranch for her. She was nowhere to be found. Think Ashley! Where could she have gone? Duh!
