Aw...this is kind of quietly lovely, and I love the way the Rocking Horse winner is used. "even though there would be times of complete quiet… through the tension… I could still hear what went unsaid.” Because I think this fic is about quiet. It's about what Logan doesn't say, the not-quite-pointed comment at the beginning, and then his quiet expression at the end.

It's the quiet ear of friends, the understanding of someone who will support you even if their experiences have been completely different. It's also the soft melancholy on both their parts, the wish that things could be different.

This is one of my favorites.

i have read and watched the movie for the rocking horse winner. It's kinda creepy in away. Well that's what I thought when I read it, but how you placed it into this story it makes logical sense. People, specially some parents are always looking for more money. No matter who it hurts in the long-run. Anyways, I really enjoyed the short-story you wrote. Maybe another chapter or something with another story from the time period. *shrugs* who knows.
