Jules was still getting to know their new animal trainer but when talking to her yesterday, she'd getten an unshakable sense. Today was an important day, bittersweet in ways, but definitely important, and she was about ninety-five percent sure that it was Rori's birthday. Knowing that the woman was new to the country and so far removed from her friends and family, Juliet wanted to do something nice for her. When she'd gone up to the main house and asked her dad if he could help her with a bit of baking, he'd given her a look but hadn't pushed her to explain why. He also, blissfully, hadn't pushed her to do the tidying up after.
After taking a platter of cupcakes back to her little cottage, Jules went up to her loft to put the finishing touches on the painting she'd worked on until way too late last night. A few charms later to dry and seal it, and then she tucked it away in her shoulder bag before heading back downstairs. She plucked two of the cupcakes off the platter, moving them to a smaller plate. She took a breath and then left her cottage to head for the barn, knowing that Rori was working for at least part of the day and hoping she would easily find her there.
And so she did.
Jules smiled when she spotted the other woman brushing her new mare. "Hello, Rori. I hope I'm not interrupting," she greeted her. "Happy birthday!" she added, holding up the cupcakes for the woman to see. "I didn't know what your favorites were, so I went with a classic vanilla buttercream."
