"Five minutes til' arrival, sir." The driver spoke his first words after an hour.

"Oh! Okay time to put this on." Morgan said and pulled a bandana out of his pocket.

"Why?" I pouted and he laughed.

"It's a surprise, sir." He said and I laughed.

"I promise he's actually a really cool dad." I said.

"Sure." He smiled then tied the blindfold around my head.

Then it was pitch black.

I could feel the car turn off the street and onto a dirt road.

"You can guess where we are if you want." I heard Morgan say.

I heard the window roll down and felt the wind rush in along with a very sweet smell that I didn't recognize.

"Um..the candy shop!"

"No." He chuckled.

"The..cand..le shop?"

"No!" He laughed and rolled the window back up.

"It's smells really nice." I said.

"But you don't know the smell?"

"Nope."

"We've arrived." The driver said.

I half expected him to have an English accent.

"Okay." Morgan breathed and got out the car.

My door opened and I felt his hand on mine.

I should probably start carrying a fire extinguisher. 

He helped me out the car and closed the door behind me.

I heard the car drive away on the dirt road, leaving me alone with Morgan.

"Does it still smell nice?" He asked as he walked me.

"Yeah. Really nice."

It was intoxicating.

Like being surrounded by candles.

I love candles.

"Okay stop walking." He said and I stopped. 

He stood behind me and started untying the blindfold.

I couldn't help but keep my eyes shut tight.

"Um..are your eyes open?"

I shook my head and he laughed.

"Open them."

I opened my eyes and came face to face with a giant white horse.

"Oh my gosh!" I screamed and jumped back.

"You're not afraid of horses are you?" He asked and sounded like he wanted to panic.

"I don't know. I've never seen one in person before." I said as I stared the horse in the eye.

"Well, I'll make sure Dream and I make this a great experience for you." He said and rubbed the horse.

"Okay."

"Come on," He grabbed my hand and walked towards a horse stable. "Let's find you a horse."

 The white horse followed close behind us.

"Um, are these your horses?" I asked.

"Dream is, these horses belong to my family though."

"Oh."
