"Paul," Mitchell called after me one final time. "You know my daddy would've near t' killed me, he'd've known for
sure I'd been ridin' that stallion."
"Then good thing you weren't riding Ghost Wind, isn't
it?" I said.
Mitchell nodded, and that was as close as Mitchell
Thomas came to thanking me and as close as I came to
accepting his thanks. But after that, things began to
change between Mitchell and me. Now, we still weren't
the best of friends, but there was a new respect building. I
believe that both of us were realizing that our judgments
of each other were not truly founded. Each of us had
something to him the other hadn't seen before, and out of
this realization came a real respect, not just a truce.
