" Lady Samantha.
" You have a habit of finding me when I'm done." Amused na sabi nito sa kanya.

"Hahh.... It must be fate." Nakangiti niyang sabi rito.

' then fate must be kind to me." Ani Liam. Niyakap siya nito ng mahigpit. " I hope your looking forward to the  Royal hunt today.

" She's for sale? Tanong niya dito.

" She's retired now but still has a lot of life left in here." Ani Liam.

" I'll go this one." Aniya na ang tinutukoy ay si silver star.  " She's lackadaisical but a relax horse is a good horse" paliwanag ni Liam sa kanya.
