So We Stripped

“Where are we going? This is the opposite direction from the mansion…” I asked when I finally found my voice.

“There’s a small stable near here…if I’m not wrong…” he replied as he continued walking.

I prayed so hard that he wasn’t wrong. Brandon had very good memory, so if we said that there was a stable nearby then it was probably there unless it got torn down in his absence.

“What about the horses…” I asked softly when I thought about those gentle beasts.

“They’ll be fine. It’s just rain…” Brandon replied as he looked down at me.

“But…” I began protesting.

Won’t they get sick if they stayed out in the rain? Is that how it worked with the horses? I wasn’t quite sure…

“I’ll go get them later if you’re that worried. Right now, you should worry more about yourself,” Brandon replied quickly, and I knew that he was trying to ease my worries.
