I’d been very impressed by Sarah’s skills with a horse. She made me look like a fat man on a donkey at times, and I hadn’t expected her to follow us along the rocks. I guess you could say that she felt she had no choice, that because I hadn’t mentioned the second route and went off, she’d been forced to follow. But that never stopped the ten or so girls I’d brought horse riding here before from screaming at me while they stood behind on the cliff edge, not daring to descend the narrow rock path. Even when I’d assure them that the horse knew the way by heart and would do all the necessary skill, so long as they were calm, the girl would bleat and blab and I’d have to ultimately reveal the second route to her. And of the men I’d brought with me, only my father and a handful of others were ever brave enough to follow. But not Sarah; though nervous, she had followed, and I was immensely impressed.

And her riding on the beach too. I admit that I’m a little rigid in the saddle, but I would never have expected that after fifteen years of being off a horse, Sarah would put me to shame the way she did, lowering her body so that she became streamlined with the horse. I would never dare such a maneuver, and I rode at least twenty times a year. Watching her, I was witnessing something natural occurring between her and the animal, and once we were back in the courtyard, it had been difficult to get the sorrel to leave her side, the horse being a little stubborn as it was led back into the stable. It was amazing that such a bond could develop in the five hours they’d been together, and I sensed then that there was something fantastical in this girl, something that both myself and the horse could feel, something unspoken and unseen, but there all the same, an eternal goodness that emanated from her.

Back at the villa we had a very light lunch, because the moment we’d entered, Sarah had turned to me and asked if we could go back to the market a little later on.

“Of course,” I’d replied. “But why?”

“Because I want to make us dinner.”

“But there’s a whole kitchen staff here to achieve that.”

“That’s not the same and you know it. Plus, you cooked for me back at the Peaks.”

“I did.”

“And I want to return the favor. So let me cook for you here tonight. We’ll eat it on the balcony, overlooking the sea.”

I agreed and we ate sandwiches with a little greek salad for lunch, enough to keep us going until Sarah’s meal later that night. Once we’d finished, Sarah asked if we could take the horses to the market.

“They’re already back in the stable and settled” was my disappointing answer for her.

Her face took on a little cloud of glumness.

“They’ve had a long day already,” I went on.
