The chapter opens with Dora's horse galloping through the fields. She tells Dora not to overdo herself, as she is recovering from her horse's injury. Dora tells her that she is very good at caring for horses, even though her farm children are stubborn. She says that she had planned to tear down the old stable, but the horse stubbornly refuses to sleep there. She wonders why she can't control the doctor's temper, and she wishes she knew why. She asks Dora if she forgot an anniversary, and Dora replies that she did, but that there was nothing to celebrate. She wants to know why the doctor started to look gloomy after running out of the stable the morning before. She decides that she will try to talk things out later that night. She notices that the doctor seems to be trying to dress herself for something, but she wonders if it is related to an anniversary. She realizes that the way the doctor treats her and talks to her has changed since they reunited. She wishes that she could see the doctor again. She grabs a camera and takes a picture of the sunset.
