It's nice on Shadow, quiet. Work's good, even if he ain't sleeping much.

But not sleeping's better'n what happens when he sleeps.



He don't need anything more'n what he's got there, but sometimes when he stares at the ceiling - or the night sky - he can't help but think about a thing or two left behind that maybe he don't want got rid of.


So it could be that it's late one night (on Shadow, anyway, who ever knows how times match up) Ennis sneaks into the bar, headed back towards his (their) room.

He's quick, and he's quiet, but could be you could catch him.

"I didn't say 'fix,'" she says, "I said 'help with.'"

There's not much that can't be helped with. If a person wants help.

But not everyone does.

"Can I get something to drink, at the least?"

And is that a situation to be sought or avoided?

"Of course."

Coffee it is. Black and on the strong side of things.

Amy has tea.

"Is it something you'd like to talk about?"

"You don't have to, if you don't want to. I just thought I'd offer.

"Is there anything you would like to talk about?"

For a given definition of "explain."

The one where "explain" equals "doesn't explain."

"With Captain Reynolds' mother? Caspian visited once, and liked it. Are you enjoying it?"

Well, Ennis, when you don't tell a person what's wrong, you have to expect some irony. It's like rain on your wedding day, or something.

Amy reads enough in the smile to see that she's said something wrong.

"I . . . I'm . . ." she trails off, shaking her head slightly.

"Let her know if she's got anything needs fixin', or just lookin' at, she can leave a note with Bar, and we'll set up a time for me to come out." A small smile. "'Less you got that covered in odd jobs -- in which case you and me need to sit a spell and talk shop."

Well, so is she.

Amy takes a deep breath.

"I'm sorry if anything I said was upsetting, or . . . I didn't mean . . . I am glad you're enjoying the ranch."
