SHELBY

I didn’t think Allie had slept a wink last night. If she asked me one more time…

“Moooooommy,” she whined. “How much longer?”

“I don’t know, honey. I’m sure they need to drive very carefully with your ponies in the trailer. It might take them several hours to make the drive.”

Kaleb slipped his phone into his pocket. “Why don’t we take a walk down to the stable? You can meet Garrison while we wait.”

Allie skipped ahead of us. “Okay.”

A new graveled path cut across the back yard to what we’d jokingly started calling the Blakely Equestrian Center. In addition to the massive stable, he’d ordered an indoor riding ring—because of course Allie should be able to ride her ponies year around—as well as a new parking area for all the people he’d hired. I had no idea there were so many horsey people in the Branson area, but we now had two strapping lads to haul straw bales and clean up poop so Chris wouldn’t feel the need to fulfill his threat.

In addition, he’d built separate living quarters for the person who would run the stable and teach us all the things we didn’t know.

Which was literally everything.

Recommended by Renata, Garrison was a grizzled, short man with one permanently bowed leg that was slightly shorter than his other. Wearing a straw-colored cowboy hat and worn boots, he certainly looked like he’d know his way around the barn.

Kaleb shook the man’s hand. “Shelby, Allie, let me introduce you to Garrison Hadley.”

Garrison tipped his hat to both me and Alley. “Ma’am, Miss Allie.”

“Are my ponies here yet, Mr. Garrison?” Allie asked.

“Do you see any ponies eatin’ their fool heads off yet?” He suppressed a grin. “Just call me Gar.”

Allie planted her hands on her hips and gave him a stern look. “My ponies can eat as much as they want, and they’re not fools.”

Snickering, the man bent down to her level. “I’ll tell you a secret about ponies that you may not know yet. If you let them eat too much, they’ll get so fat and round that they won’t be able to jump or run or play with you. That won’t be any fun at all, will it?”

She relaxed her fierce stance. “No… I want to jump over big, high fences. I’m not scared at all, even though Mommy said it scares her so much she might pee.”

“Allie,” I gasped, blushing beet red. “That’s not the kind of thing to tell someone you just met.”

Gar slapped his thighs and laughed. “You’re just my kind of gal, little Miss Allie. Is that a trailer I hear coming up the road?”

She hopped up and down several times, trying to see, and then raced over to Kaleb. He hefted her up on his hip. “It is! My ponies are here!”

Our big black SUV followed a powerful-looking truck hauling a sleek, shiny horse trailer. Chris and Everett got out of the SUV and came to join us.

“We saw the trailer drive by,” Everett said. “We didn’t want to miss her reaction.
