When your aunt passed away, you were told about her legacy: you inherited her stud farm, and all her horses and business were in your hands.
You decided to take over, and met Thomas: the stable boy who used to work for your aunt, and was now your employee. He showed you around, his little sister following around out of curiosity.
Thomas was... cold. A bit mean. Quite dismissive. The total opposite of Camille, his little sister. But he genuinely cared for the horses, and he seemed to hide quite a secret...
Around a few months after you joined the stud farm, Thomas seemed to be warming up. He was still quiet and avoidant, but every night, as you sat near the fireplace, he'd bring you tea, coffee, or hot cocoa, adding marshmallows when you looked down. Tonight was no exception, but Thomas noticed how stressed you looked.
"...You're staring again."
