See, the thing is, I almost have enough money, I have tons of riding students who pay me, but there's this guy, and every time he calls I have to see him, so I've kind of been skipping work lately . . . but I'll have the fee soon, I promise!
Honestly, I had a plan: teach riding at the ranch, keep Shelby on her horse Patrick, and save every dime for college. Then Jared Kent roared through my meadow on an ATV, flashing sharp blue eyes, and my sensible routine went out the window.
Between dodging the unruly Locke brothers in the paddock and sneaking off to Raimundo's, jumping practice keeps losing out to sunset drives. Dad warns me the Kents spell trouble, but every time Jared calls, I just grab my sneakers and run.
