The days passed by smoother than Henry expected.
Leo didn't even try to give Henry a hard time about him leaving once he gave him the news. It made the younger man feel lighthearted and he was in a good mood while he worked.
His replacement, Otto, was even starting to be easier to be around now that his mood had improved.
If Henry remembered correctly, he was around the same age as Otto when he started in the stable. He only took the job because he didn't want to join his dad in the potato fields.
At the end of his last day, he made sure to say goodbye to Leo.
Despite how sour the old man's mood was at times, Henry knew he was good at his core. If his dad could stand him for so many years, it had to mean he wasn't all bad.
After his goodbye, he offered his hand for Leo to shake.
