Aggravated Guilt

The horse got closer to her accepting her, making her heart overflow.

 "And I promise I won't leave you again." She spoke; the words were a vow, spoken with a conviction that resonated deeply within her. She knew that they both needed this reunion, a chance to heal and to move forward together.

Jessamyn took a step back from the horse. He was full of vigor even though his appearance didn't match what he used to be. Jessamyn had a good feeling that it wouldn't be long before Jostein would be back.

Her eyes then ended on Jerrick who was gently stroking Jostein's mane. She realized how much he valued her feelings. He knew that Joar's horse was more than just an animal; he was a living connection to a lost loved one, a vessel of memories.
