____________________________________________________ What it means to hold you tight Being here alone tonight with you It feels so right now. Hold me tight. Let me go on loving you Tonight, tonight. Making love to only you, so Hold me tight tonight, tonight. It's you, you, you, you.
Jack Aelyn Adelwolf Jack began to walk down the isle after Dorothee agreeed to come with him. He saw her lean on Hugo's stall out of the croner of his eye as he walked over to pick up a few halters on the ground and fill an empty water bucket.
When he was finished, he walked over to Hugos stall and leaned next to Dorothee, glancing at her. She appeared to be in thought so he wasn't sure if she noticed him there or not. Hopefully he could help her get over her fear of getting on Hugo again, no matter how long it took.

Dorothee wasn't in thought. She was just watching Hugo carefully. When he came over to the door, she backed away, even though she could tell he only came up to the door to see her. He looked over and decided to nuzzle at jack.

____________________________________________________ Oh yeah I'll tell you something I think you'll understand when I say that something I want to hold your hand
Jack Aelyn Adelwolf The grey stallion in the stall had been watching Dorothee and Jack for a few seconds before he decided to come over and say hello to them. Hugo snorted and mosied the very short way over to the door where Dorothee and Jack stood. Before the gelding was a foot away from them, Dorothee stepped back, causing Jack to turn his head and look at her in concern.
Hugo took this opportunity to tug on Jack's shirt sleeve and nuzzle his hand. Jack faintly smiled and patted the stallion before turning around to face Dorothee. "Dorothee, would you like to work with touching Hugo right now? I have all the time in the world, so it's all up to you." he paused, waiting for her answer causing dead silence in the barn. It remained silent until the rain picked up a bit, emitting it's pitter patter on the wood roof above.

She watched Hugo nuzzle Jack. She was lost in thought thinking back to when she did jump with him. When he spoke she looked blankly at him at first then spoke, " oh, yea sure, im in no big hurry" She said walking closer, but not close enough for Hugo to touch her.

____________________________________________________ Oh please say to me You'll let me be your man And please say to me You'll let me hold your hand I want to hold your hand I want to hold your hand
Jack Aelyn Adelwolf Jack gave her a small smile as she said that she wanted to work with him. Dorothee took a few hesitant steps forward and stopped far enough away so Hugo could not reach her.
Jack backed up a bit and said "Im going to move him into some cross ties and then we'll work from there." He then walked back up to Hugo's stall and put the stallions halter on before he opened the stall door. He led the grey out of his stall and to a set of close cross ties.
Jack unclipped hugo's lead, after he had him tied up, and hung it on a nearby stall. "Ready Dorothee?" he asked, motioning her over to him and Hugo.

She nodded at his words and backed up some more to give them room as he moved Hugo to the cross ties. She watched every movement of the tall grey stallion. " ready as I'll ever be." She said with a laugh, trying to be as calm as possible and forget about the accident. She walked over to him and stood there, watching hugo as he turned his head to look at her.

Dorothee walked up to the stallion and just looked at him. She was close enough that all she had to do was reach her arm out and touch him. Hugo couldn't move his head to reach her since he was tied up on either side.
"Okay Dorothee, here's what's going to happen." he said as he moved next to her. "You're going to let me help you. What you have to do it hold your hand out to Hugo and I'll help you touch him. You just have to trust me, okay?"

She listened to his words, but her eyes remained glued to hugo. It took her a few minutes but she finally forced words from her mouth. " okay, sounds easy enough" She chuckled trying to wash away the memoriees and it started to work. She reached her hand out, latting it be only a few inches from Hugo's face.

Jack nodded and watched as she moved her hand forth, letting it linger several centimeters over Hugo's grey face. "Okay, now just relax Dorothee." he said as he walked closer to her. "Just try and think of some wonderful times you had with Hugo when he was younger, it might be easier that way." Jack lifted his own hand and gentley placed it on top of Dorothee's outstreched hand, guiding her towards her horse. He had done this once before with his sister, who had been afraid of horses ever since she fell off and broke a leg when she was eleven. It helped her, why wouldn't it help Dorothee? Jack kept his hand on Dorothee's as he felt the soft fur of Hugo on his finger tips. Jack looked to Dorothee to see how she would react to touching her horse for probably the first time in a long while.

She let out a deep breath that she had been holding in and thought back to when Hugo and her had one their first competition that actually meant alot. She remembered flying over the triple combination and soaring over the verticles like they were nothing. The thoughts disapeared when jack placed his hand on hers and guided it to Hugo's fur. She jumped but didn't pull back. It was the first time in over six months that she had actually touched Hugo.

Jack felt Dorothee jumpa bit as she touched Hugo's sleek pelt. When she didn't pull away he smiled. This was a large improvement. He took his hand of hers after a minute more and backed up, letting her rebond with her horse. "Not that bad, eh?"

Dorothee moved her hand, petting down his neck to his shoulder. She smiled and turned to jack. " not bad at all, but before I ride him I wan't to ride a differnt horse, a calm one. I mean after all, i havn't rode since the accident which was over six months ago." She siad looking back to Hugo.

Jack couldn't help but keep his smile as Dorothee continued to stroke Hugo. "When ever you feel like getting on one o fmy horses, just let me know and I'll be there with you." Atleast he her to touch Hugo. Jack went over and sat on a hay bale, watching Dorothee and Hugo. He decided he would si tuntil she was ready to go or she needed him for something.

" I think I'll work with hugo for a few days just like leading him around and such, then ill try for the riding. she said. Curious to see if it still worked, she unclipped Hugo from the cross ties and walked into his stall and looked to him. it did still work. He didn't move until she looked at him, and when she did, he walked right into his stall. She walked out and shut it, giving him a pat good bye. " Im suprised he still remembered that! Well, I guess we should go...thanks" she siad with a smile to jack.

Jack got up from the hay bale and followed Dorothee over to Hugo's stall as she put him away. "Of course he'd remebre." Jack said iwth a smile. "He probably has been wondering why you haven't come to see him. That horse really loves you Dorothee. I don't think you could ask for a better horse."
Jack walked to the door of the stable as Dorothee came out of Hugo's stall. He waited by the door for her before he opened it. If he opened it now, a load of rain would probably blow in.
