Lisa's POV

Jennie plops down on the grass and stares up at the horse. "We need to give her a name."

For the past five hours, we've been roaming around the city with this black horse that seems to be enjoying its taste of freedom.

"Let's call her Horse," I shrug, sitting right across her.

"Is that the most creative you can get?" she laughs while randomly picking on the grass.

Jennie smiles and kisses my cheek. "You are also insanely hot, baby, don't worry."

"As much as I'd like to flirt with you here with Horse standing in the middle of us, I think we need to take her back," I laugh, glancing back and forth from Jennie to Horse.

"Says the one who stole it!" Jennie teases me. "So how do you plan to take it back?"

"You wouldn't mind running a few blocks, right?" I beam from ear to ear.

"No, not really but I have no choice," Jennie admits while stifling a giggle.

"One..."

"Two..."
