Ashley finished eating her breakfast and started cleaning off the dishes. After Ryan left, she took Sarah's empty cup and began rinsing it.  "I think we should give him the gift just after lunch," Ashley suggested. "I'll train him a bit, and then we'll head out there. I want at least one of us with him at all times, but we don't need to both stay with him."<br/><br/>Protective as ever, Ashley was not going to leave a sixteen year old on his own with a gun for the first time. After she cleaned off the last dish she walked over to Sarah and leaned over onto a kitchen chair.<br/><br/>She looked at Sarah's beautiful red hair for a moment, relaxing before thinking about how to handle the chores against the birthday presents for the day. "How about you make sure the equipment in the shed is set for tonight just in case our walk out to the fence line takes longer. I'll handle any laundry that needs doing and the animals."
