Charlotte smiled a little as she noticed the small blush as she hugged him. She felt a sharp pang of sadness as she was reminded of her dad. She was suddenly thrust into a memory of a time a couple of months ago. She was sitting in her dads apartment, sitting on the couch and scrolling through her phone. She smiled as she heard a knock on the door. She got off of the couch and walked over to the door and opened. Her smiled got bigger as her dad pulled her into a bear hug, still in his police uniform from work. She could have stayed in that moment forever, letting his big arms protect her from everything bad in the world. But she knew that the world would never let that happen. It had taken him from her. She was pulled out of her memory by Jake talking. She gave him a big smile, hoping that it hid her sadness.
"Oh, um, that would be great! I can't wait to work with Woody! He seems like a great horse!" She noticed that her shoe was untied and she crouched low to the ground, tying it quickly as she continued to hear Jake speak. She wasn't surprised that it was untied because she was always very untidy. She nodded and she stood. "Thank you." She gave him another small smile and she took the key from his hand. She was excited to get to know Woody, but the memory of her father fresh in her mind seemed to keep her down, making it as hard as ever to stay in her usual bright mood. She turned back to Woody, reaching her hand through the bars of the stall to give his soft nose a pet. She smiled a little as she felt the velvety softness. She stayed there for a moment longer before walking out of the barn and going to unpack.
