For the next half hour, Jackson taught her how to use the halter and how to use her thighs to move the horse and tell it how fast to go. She did her best. Jackson and Shadow were patient, but it would take at least a few more lessons before she really got the hang of riding.

When they reached the pond, Jackson helped her slide off. Sunlight sparkled across the water. A breeze pushed the water so that it lapped against the shore. It wasn’t quite the same as the ocean, but it still brought a sliver of nostalgia over her. “It’s beautiful,” Maya said when Jackson came to stand beside her. He’d tied the horse to a tree a small ways off.

“Yes, it is. When I first saw that she was having a pond built, I thought she was nuts, but the more I think about it, the more I like the idea. She can use it year round. There’s fishing and boating, but then when it freezes over, there’s ice skating.” His eyes lit with excitement.

“You like to ice skate?” She tried to imagine what it would be like to go ice skating with him.

“I don’t do it often, but yes, it can be fun.” He smiled down at her and Maya felt her insides warm. “Have you ice skated?”

“No. I grew up in Santa Barbara. I can surf, body board, wind sail, swim, rollerblade, and drive a golf cart, but I’ve never lived in the country.” She took a breath, watching his eyes. He seemed surprised by all she could do. In addition to that, she could see something more. She studied him curiously until it occurred to her that he couldn’t do any of the things she’d mentioned. “I’m guessing you haven’t done a lot of surfing out here in the country?”

Jackson snorted. “I drive a mean golf cart.”

“I see.” Maya giggled as she watched his features soften. See, she wanted to say. I’m not the complete moron you think I am. I just don’t know the country like you do. But if you teach me, I’m sure I can do it.

“I’ve never been to the beach.” Jackson crossed his arms, deep in thought. “But I’ve always wanted to go.”

“You should,” Maya gushed, as her feelings for the ocean rushed through her. “You’d love it.”

He glanced down at her and smiled. “You’ll come with me?”

She wasn’t sure what the right answer was, but she knew what she wanted to say. “Sure.”

“All right then.” He returned his eyes to the water.

“Mind if I take a picture?” Maya had brought her camera to her eye and watched him through the lens. He turned and smiled. She snapped a picture in that second. “Nice.” She bounced on her feet with happiness before showing him the picture.

He shrugged. “The model could use some work.”

“I don’t know about that. You seem pretty perfect to me.” As soon as Maya uttered the words, she knew what she’d done, and covered her mouth. Mortified, she took a step back, unable to believe she’d said the words.
