Eve stared at him with tender eyes, eyes that sparkled gratitude in the torchlight from the hallway.

“Would you like to ride a horse?”

She straightened in fear. “I can’t.”

“Can’t? Have you tried?”

“Once when I was young. I was thrown because I couldn’t control him.” She looked down at her hand. “I couldn’t hold the reins correctly.”

Gabriel shook his head. “There are other ways to control a horse. Were you sitting side-saddle?”

“Of course.”

Gabriel’s gaze swept her. “Do you dare not sit side-saddle?”

“You mean…like a man?”

Gabriel grinned. “It will give you more control.”

“Really?” she asked with excitement. Then, she shook her head. “No. I couldn’t.”

“I will help you learn. I’m an excellent horseman.” He smiled at her. “I daresay there is none better.”

She answered with a smile of her own.

His heart leaped at seeing her joy.

“I don’t know…”

“We can do it in private. Remember that pond where I met you? There is plenty of room to learn there.”

Eve considered for a moment. Then, she nodded. “I would like that.”

Gabriel was proud of her. “In the morn?”

She nodded.
