It was morning and I found rip. I told him to come with me.
"Oakley you know we have horses right?"
"Just come on, I am gonna read to you ok." I say setting on the step of the cabin.
"Alright." He say confused.
I pulled out the letter and started to read " My grandfather had a dream. All of his sons on the same ranch, the same road, working toward the same goal. That dream survived 100 years until it got to me, with me that dream died. My sons just keep dieing of leaving. Intill one day not to long ago. I realized I had just enough sons after all." I finish folding to paper back up.
"I don't understand Oakley." Rip says still confused.
"He's saying its your rip." I say looking back to the house.
"Mine?"
"Yours" I say smiling. He walks up past the steps and inside he leans on to the door frame and there is tears in his eyes, he walked back out and sat on the step next to me.
"Will you read the end to me again?" He asked.
"Intill one day not to long ago, I realized I had enough sons after all." I read again,handing him the letter.
"He called ma a son." He says
"Yeah baby he did."
"I like that." He says pulling me onto his lap.
"What baby?"
"Hmm yes."
"Oh um rip, my dad knows about us."
"Huh you um..what...shit."
"No, no rip he's fine with it, beth told him, kinda"
"Your sure he's fine with it?"
"Yes baby he is." I say smiling. I took rips hat off and kissed him.
"Damn I don't deserve any of this." He says "you, or your dad, this ranch, this cabin."
"Rip you've done something that no one else does, you've out lived your past, if anyone deserves it, it's you."
"Mabye so Oakley, but I am still going to use every minute like it's my last."
"Thats the only way to live baby." He smiled, and I just cuddled up in his arms. He put his chin on my head.
"God damn I love you." He said
"I love you to."
