[For Kitty Pryde - Backdated to Monday] Effort is the best indicator of interest

[st_rayed]

Wyatt had a lot on his mind since Valentine's day and the actions of it. He'd come to realize, at least in his mind, that while he might have been under the influence of whatever had occurred, it had been very different with Kitty than with Phryne. His reactions to both women had been very different and not just because one was a virtual stranger. He'd wanted a date with Kitty and he wanted it to be special enough that she'd realize it hadn't been because of the after effects but because he really had wanted to date.

The possibilities were very limited, which was why Wyatt had taken to going horseback riding in the surrounding area. He'd been looking for a spot that wasn't the cafe or bar. Not that there was anything wrong with that, but it was the first date for both of them in a long time and Wyatt wanted it to be memorable.

It also gave him an excuse to riding a horse and getting back to his West Texas roots that he missed a lot. He hadn't realized how much until that first ride here. Wyatt even missed taking care of the stall, which was why even with there being 'guests' that take care of the stables, he was in search of fresh hay to put in the stall of the horse he'd just brought back.
