"He bought Danny a pony," Mia said as she paced around Brenna's office at the winery. "He never said a word. He just announced he had a surprise and then there it was. An honest-to-God pony."

"It wouldn't be my first choice," Brenna admitted, "but hey, he's royal. Maybe it's a big fourth birthday thing with his family."

"I guess. It's just… shouldn't he have talked to me about it? I'm Danny's mother."

"Rafael is his father." Brenna rolled her eyes. "I really hate taking the guy's side against a woman, especially my sister, but this time I think you're freaking over nothing. It's a pony. It's not like he bought him an island."

"Calandria is an island. As heir, I guess Danny already has that."

"Okay, then strippers. That would have been a gift to get crabby about. Families do odd things. Grandpa Lorenzo made all of us learn about wine even though I was the only one interested. It happens. Don't worry about it. Danny is a prince, which is just too weird. Don't all princes need to learn how to ride? Isn't it in the prince handbook?"

"Probably. I should Google him again."

"Rafael?" Brenna asked.

Mia walked to the desk and sat in the large chair across from Brenna's. "Yeah. I did it once and I was overwhelmed by pictures of him with beautiful young women. It got depressing."

"Mia, you're gorgeous and smart and a lot more interesting than any high-society rich bitch he might meet at some charity event."

"You don't actually know that."

"Of course I do. He fell for you years ago and now he wants to marry you. Doesn't that mean you win?"

Mia rubbed her temples. "I can't believe we're having this conversation. I can't believe Danny is a prince."

"It's a little too late to take back Rafael as his father. You should have thought of that before you did the wild thing."

"Who knew it would come to this?" She sighed. "Who knew Diego was really Crown Prince Rafael in disguise? My life is a soap opera."

Mia looked at her sister and drew in a breath. "I said yes."

Brenna stared at her. "To his proposal?"

Mia nodded. "Last night. I can't face anything huge or ceremonial right now. We're going to Las Vegas after Danny's birthday."

Brenna stood and clapped her hands together. "I don't know what to say. My baby sister, the queen."

Mia stood and they hugged. When Brenna released her, Mia asked, "Am I crazy to do this?"

"I don't know. Does it feel right? Are you happy?"

"I was until the pony."

Brenna laughed. "What is it about that damned horse that has you so freaked?"

"I don't know. I guess it's that he didn't discuss it with me. He made his own decision."

"I can understand that, but how many of your decisions have you discussed with him? Mia, it's been five years since you were last together. It's going to take a little time to figure out how this all fits."

"You're right. Which means running off to marry him isn't what I should be doing.
