Location: North Tree Ranch
Status: Private
Summary: Shosh reflects on life changes....
Completion: Complete
The conversation had been an awkward one, and something Shosh had never had to do before in her life. But they had grown apart and that fire that Shosh had felt early on had been lost. Maybe this was the way her first relationship was always going to end up, a short stint followed by a break up, granted an amicable one, but still a break up. She would need to explain this all to Sloane, and Shosh was realizing that if she ventured into the relationship realm again, next time she should make sure the relationship would last before introducing him to her little girl. Lesson learned, and it would seem she had learned a lot of lessons with her first attempt at a relationship.
If she had been watching the signs, Shosh would have realized a break up was inevitable. Neither one of them could make time for the other, and she still felt like they had been moving at two different speeds. Maybe Rori had been right all along, it was a case of infatuation that she just needed to get out of her system. Whatever the reason, they had grown apart. Normally she would have blamed herself for it, and she was to blame on some level - but she wasn't turning into her mother, she hadn't purposefully doomed this relationship. Sometimes things just don't work out, and this was one of those things.
Or at least that's what Graham told her when she came into the barn looking a bit hallow. Even if it was amicable, it still felt strange, and Shosh had never had that feeling before. She would have preferred her Dad, because there were just some things your Dad could make better. She couldn't have that though, So Graham wasn't a bad second. He had given her a good squeeze, muttered that things happen for a reason and followed that up with 'We've got a ranch to run, so buck up.' And he was right, she did have a ranch to run, and no time to dwell on the why's of the break up.
She would know this feeling now, what it felt like to have a relationship end. It didn't scare her, or turn her off of dating, but she realized she would be more aware next time, more invested, and intentional.
"Live and learn." Shosh muttered as she moved towards the first stall on the right, intending to do exactly as Graham told her, she had a ranch to run and horses to work; and no time to wonder if she was turning into her mother in some way.
