I should be surprised, but to be honest I really am not.I smile to myself in amusement, watching her for a moment as she pets the horse. She regards the beast with no fear, something admirable for a creature as small and fragile as her.I don't think her pa should be worried about her and the horses, but it isn't up to me."Does your pa know you're out here, Miss Mae?" She gasp and whirls around, making even the horse jump. The beast is contained since she's in her stall, but Mae still shouldn't be here. She's grown up on this ranch, but she doesn't know a thing about horses despite her obvious infatuation with them. "Sir...""Out in the barn in your Sunday dress too?"
