"Hmm." She eyed me, trying to see if I was going to falter.
But I stayed still. Doing my best to stay strong under Sylva's gaze.
"I see...then." Crossing her arms, the lady hummed.
Wondering on what to do.
"You can't ride a horse like Poppy." I sweated the minute I heard her say that.
Poppy was infamous for riding Maple. Especially whenever Sylva and Gemma were not looking. She had a record for being sneaky compared to the ones I helped take care of at the Orphanage.
One of the three horses they owned. The other two were called Ashwood and Pines.
Which was funny.
Because the minute I entered the stables for the first time to help feed the horses with Gemma.
I thought the first letter of their names spelled out MAP.
Gemma laughed the instant I pointed that out.
"They really do spell out MAP!" But once Gemma told Sylva, the lady's gaze hardened at the stable.
"We should rena-"
"No!" Gemma refused to have any of the horses renamed.
But more importantly.
Sylva knew quite well that I can't ride a horse.
I was far too young and the horses they owned were...huge.
