"As the pen fell far to the floor, Amy watched it hit the linoleum. She knew she couldn't have caught that pen if Brian threw it to her from his greasy old hands. But she picked it up and wrote the directions to her house. She cleared her throat, but her words still sounded hoarse. This is the best route. Keep your horse to this path, and you'll be fine. After you cross the creek, be careful of the large roots that come up out of the ground. We'll have a cot set up in the guest house for you."

Which one is better:

TYIA for your help!

The second one is a lot better.

Why do you think that might be?

The second one for sure. It's slower and feels like you invested a little more in each word. Do that even more - especially if you're using foreign names / concepts.
