He nods as he drives nonchalantly. “Yes, but I don’t come all the way out here very often.”

For ten minutes we keep driving and I am in awe. This is a huge property. We drive over a hill and into a valley and Joshua stops the car as he sees something. His wrist is resting over the steering wheel as he narrows his eyes and runs his tongue over his top front teeth. My eyes flick to the paddock where his eyes are fixed. What’s he looking at? All I see are more horses.

“What is it?” I ask.

“Nothing,” he snaps and then does a three sixty turn and starts to speed back toward the stables. I hold on for dear life. What the hell is wrong with him?

“What are you doing? Why are you driving like a frigging maniac?” I ask as I am propelled up and down on my seat as we go over bumps at high speed. Christ almighty, I could die here. He pulls up at the stables’ offices and jumps out of the car furiously.

Huh? I jump out and run in after him.

He bangs the office door open. “Why are those fucking horses on the bottom paddock?” he yells as he points his hand toward the paddock we have just come from.

I screw up my face as I look between him and the two men in the office. What’s he talking about?

“Um…Joshua, calm down,” the older man replies.

“I will not calm down! Tell me why those fucking horses are on my land!”

Huh? What’s wrong with those horses? Have they got rabies or something? What’s going on here? This is confusing.

“Who approved this?” he screams.

My eyes flick to Joshua and the veins are practically popping from his forehead in anger. Jeez, settle petal.

“She has nowhere to put them,” the man replies.

“My fucking ass!” Joshua screams. “She has more than enough places to put her horses, she’s a fucking veterinarian.”

My face drops. Oh shit, those are Amelie’s horses.

“Get her on the phone,” Joshua sneers.

The two men look at each other uncomfortably and the older guy takes out his mobile phone and starts to scroll through his contacts. The younger man looks at me as Joshua storms out of the office. I fake a smile. Awkward. I stand still on the spot not sure where I am supposed to go.

The man dials a number and waits. “Hello, I have a furious Mr Stanton here.”

He listens. “Yes, he has seen them and he wants to speak to you.”

He listens and nods again and walks out onto the landing and hands the phone to Joshua.

“Where are you?” he screams.

He listens.

“You have one hour to get your horses off my land or I am putting them out on the road!” he yells and then he listens.

God, talk about an overreaction. I frown at him in question.

“I don’t want to hear your shit,” he yells.

My eyes flick nervously to the two men who are standing at the door listening. Yep… he’s losing it and this is getting embarrassing.

“I don’t give a fuck about your ten horses. I will go and shoot the bastards myself!” he screams.

My eyes widen.

“You have one hour!” he yells and hangs up.
