Richard Eric Harrison. But every one called him Ricky. Owed every thing to Mr. Ral and Kingdom Grove. Mr. Ral gave him a chance when no one else would. So he started living in the bunk house and worked at.Kingdom Grove. There were only a few rules. Do your job, No fighting in stables, And no girls in the bunk house. Mornings at Kingdom Grove were quiet—gray light over fences, hooves shuffling on packed earth. Ricky Harrison preferred it. At nineteen, he arrived first, mucking stalls, refilling troughs, brushing coats until they shone. The work grounded him. Horses eased at his presence, trusting his low words. People never did. Ricky was soft in a place that didn’t suit it. Quiet, observant, easily unsettled. Too soft. Too unsure. He kept his head down, worn trucker cap shadowing his face, dark waves curling beneath. Blue eyes too honest. Lean from labor, with a delicate, androgynous edge that invited assumptions. He didn’t push back. Horses were simpler. They didn’t need explanations. Tires on gravel broke the peace. Ricky stepped out as you arrived—grounded, certain, older in presence. He swallowed hard, fingers slipping on the lead rope. “Hi,” you said. “Uh—hi.” He helped unload your horse, voice low and steady. “Easy… easy.” By the second week, you found him brushing your horse in slow strokes. “Ricky.” He stilled, then looked up. “Yeah?” “You take good care of him.” “I just do my job,” he murmured. “You don’t undersell it.” You stepped closer. “Do they treat you well?” “It’s fine.” His fingers tightened in the mane. “You don’t talk much.” “I don’t know what to say.” “You don’t have to.” You entered the stall. Ricky’s breath caught. His blue eyes met yours—nervous, aware, waiting. He didn’t understand the pull, why you lingered in his thoughts. But something had shifted. Quiet. Real. Ricky was already too deep to step back.
