A bit more of a sad story because WHAT IS A GOOD STORY WITHOUT #DRAMA
No but seriously, I felt like no matter how much fun she was having, she was bound to have an off day. She has never really been from her home in scotland, then she recently moved to the netherlands and now she is 'shipped off' to america for a week. It's been a lot for her recently.

It wasn't early in the morning, yet Alex felt like she was dragging herself out of bed way before she was due to wake up. She wasn't sure if the jetlag was catching up to her or if it were the intensive training schedule of the past days. Quickly she picked some clothes from her suitcase, a denim style pair of riding pants and another black longsleeve. She yawned and made her way to the outdoor arena where Peter Crosby was going to explain them about rythm and distance. Much like the day before she craved coffee and had a hard time keeping her attention to what peter was saying. Luckily she already knew some things about the technical side of show jumping; she always loved to read books on it when she were a kid. She made her way nodding through the course, picking up bits and pieces of the information. She felt like the mare was getting a bit more laid back the further the week went on, making it a bit easier for them both to make their way through the course together. Once the mare was done alex quickly unsaddled her and put her into the pasture with a fleece blanket on. The mare obviously didn't mind and after a few steps she already dropped herself to take a nice roll in the field.

While the mare was happily spending time in the pasture, Alex dicided to go back up to the appartment. As she entered the room she heard her phone ring. With a frown she went to look for the thing, only finding it after the caller hung up again. She unlocked the device and saw that she had three missed calls from Avirian, but before she could call him back the phone started rining again. "Hey" She said breathlessly. "Hey, how is it going over there?" Her homesickness hit her hard upon hearing his voice, or maybe it was also because she was so tired. A tear rolled down her cheek. "I-I'm fine" her voice broke a little. Avirian made shushing noises at the other end of the line. "Hey, it's okay." His voice was sympathetic. Alex wiped the tear away, together with the ones that chased after him. "I'm sorry" Her voice was just above a whisper. "It's fun and I am so grateful for this opportunity, but I'm just so... I'm so tired, the course is amazing but it's tough and... and..." I feel so alone. She couldn't bring herself to say it, however. "Just three more days okay? I'll pick you up from the airport, promise. Oh, and I might have a surprise for you." His tone was mischievous and she couldn't help but chuckle. "So rude, making me curious while you know I won't be home for three more days!" she joked. "But thank you, for.. you know, everything" She could imagine the wide grin on his face as he brushed it off. "Don't mention it, I think you deserve a nice getaway" They talked and joked until it was time for her to go again.

"Oh and Phil, It's no shame admitting you miss me, I miss you too."

Featuring my two girls Norva and Alex and mentioning that boi Avirian (also one of my residents) in the story!
