Warm air enveloped Elliot as he stepped through the door to Breckenwood's coffee shop. A bell that hung over the frame rang lightly, announcing his presence. The temperature had been dropping steadily in the past few weeks and while he was no stranger to the weather, he was grateful for the heat of the building. The cold in his bones slowly faded as he adjusted to the difference in temperature, his cheeks pink from the rush of blood to his face.

It was Tuesday and he was stopping in after coming from the library.
Perfect Mind, Perfect Ride was tucked under his arm and he was looking forward to pouring over its pages momentarily. The book was all about the psychology of riding and how investing in one's mental health and being at peace of mind could improve one's riding in turn. It was a topic he hadn't really given much thought to in the past but one that fascinated him all the same. He couldn't argue with the concept, horses being flight animals and getting something like ninety percent of their communication through body language. It made sense.

Stepping up to the counter, he ordered his usual drink. Medium roast with only a splash of cream. He stood off to the side to wait for the barista to make his drink and to make room for the customer in line behind him. It didn't take long, requiring nothing special in it's brewing process and soon he was holding his drink and had turned to find an unoccupied table to cozy up at and delve into his reading material. Green eyes spotted one off to one corner, the table next to it taken by a redhead with a laptop. Good enough. If she was occupied in whatever she was doing she wouldn't likely interrupt him.

Elliot moved to the open table and sat down, setting his drink down carefully to the side. He pulled the book from under his arm and held it in front of him. He sank into the plush seat and began to read the first chapter. The accomplished rider was soon lost in the pages of the book, his phone extracted from his pocket and nearby for him to take notes on and copy certain passages that piqued his interest.
