A Day at the Races—Excerpt

"You'll never believe what we're going to do tomorrow!" Jisi announced.

Gail, startled out of her contemplation of a spreadsheet by Jisi's arrival in her office, looked up from her screen. Then, when that didn't work, she leaned over her desk and looked down.

Jisi grinned back up at her, a wider grin than should have fit on her small, pointed face, and the tips of her ears perked up. From this angle, she had a direct view straight down Gail's shirt, which might have been enough to explain why she looked so pleased with herself. But then, there was also what she'd said.

"Never believe what you want to do tomorrow, or never agree to do what you want to do tomorrow?" Gail asked. Given some of the things she and Jisi had done since they'd started dating, Gail could believe that Jisi had all sorts of deeply implausible plans. But she wasn't going to let Jisi do whatever she wanted and hope it would all work out. The last time she'd tried that, Jisi had steered her into a tree.

Gail had also been pretty much naked, except for her sneakers and the saddle that Jisi used to ride her, and the bridle that Jisi had used to steer her into a tree, so it could be that Jisi's confidence that Gail would agree to whatever it was wasn't entirely misplaced.

"It's a track!" Jisi said. She scrambled up onto a chair so that she could reach Gail's desk, and then slapped a pamphlet down on it. "And yeah, it's a humanlaw track, so we can't do everything that's fun, but it's a racetrack that lets us practice and have friendly races which means that we can go and meet other people who are riding in humanlaw and you can make friends and then I can race against them, and you shall be so fast that I shall ruin all of them!"

At the prospect, Jisi hugged herself with delight, dancing from foot to foot, and Gail, helplessly, found a fond smile spreading on her own face. Gail had never met anyone who had as much fun as her goblin girlfriend, with as little restraint. Which was a big part of why Gail kept agreeing to do the things that Jisi wanted to do. When Jisi was having fun, it was hard not to have fun with her, and besides—some of those things would've been kind of fun even if Jisi hadn't been involved, but Gail never would've found the nerve to try them on her own.

With this, Gail realized as she scanned the pamphlet, she never would have even heard of it without Jisi, and if she had, she definitely wouldn't have dared to show up alone. It seemed that in celebration of the peace and amity between humanlaw and goblinlaw, Briarview Park and Tracks allowed private individuals to practice and perform traditional goblinlaw racing techniques on weekends, during the off-season for horse racing. "It also says," Gail said,
