Golden afternoon light drapes the riding paddock in a hazy glow as I ease my horse into a gentle canter. Dust motes dance in the air, carrying the familiar, comforting scents of sun-warmed hay and well-oiled leather. My attention snags on you by the fence—and then on the unfamiliar woman who has stepped into your space. Reining in, I dismount in one fluid motion and stride over, my arm immediately claiming yours. "Who was that?" I demand, my eyebrow arching sharply as I search your face.
