“Wow, Charlotte, you looked so cool out there. Can I leam to ride from you?”

Charlotte was caught off guard.

Didn’t she just say earlier she only wanted Sean to teach her?

“There’s a trainer over there,” Charlotte replied politely. “I can go ask him to give you a lesson.”

Vivian pouted, her tone soft and deliberately cutesy.

“But trainers are so intimidating and I don’t even know him. I’m afraid he’ll yell at me. You’re so nice, Charlotte. I bet you wouldn’t yell at me, right?”

Charlotte wasn’t used to strangers acting sweet with her. She glanced at Sean, hoping to gauge what he thought.

He tumed to her at the same moment and asked gently,

“Lottle, would you mind teaching her?”

He was clearly leaving the decision to her.

Charlotte hesitated for a second.

Vivian was, after all, Sean’s sister–and likely her future sister–in–low. Sure, their first meeting had been a bit awkward, but Vivian had apologized, and she seemed friendly enough now

Sean tumed to Charlotte, his voice warm.

“Thanks for doing this, Lottle.”

Then he faced Vivian. The softness in his gaze vanished, replaced by his usual cool Indifference.

“Listen to her,” he said with quiet authority. “Whatever Lottie tells you to do, you do it. And be careful”

“Yes, Sean.” Vivian’s voice was sweet, all innocence again.

“Come on,” Charlotte said, leading the horse forward.
