“Shit!” Samson’s face changed instantly. He sprang back and shook his head frantically. “Nope, not a good idea.”

Lucas ignored him and kept walking forward.

Terrified, Samson scrambled after him, pleading, “Lucas, Lucas, my good man, I swear I was wrong. I don’t want to go to Virelia…”

No matter how much he begged or whined, Lucas wouldn’t budge. Benjamin watched the show from the side, thoroughly entertained. He’d already warned Samson, he had brought this on himself.

Seeing that Lucas was determined to banish him to Virelia, Samson panicked like an ant on a hot pan. Then, a lightbulb went off; he dashed straight to Sloane and began laying it on thick.

He darted in front of her with a beaming, overly eager smile. “Sloane, you look absolutely stunning today! That riding outfit on you–it’s better than anything I’ve seen on an international supermodel!”

“Sloane, I’m great at picking horses. Let me choose one for you, I promise you’ll love it. Sloane, is your bag heavy? Let me carry it for you.”

Sloane was a bit baffled by his sudden enthusiasm. “It’s fine. I can manage.”

Sloane couldn’t help but laugh at Samson’s goofy expression.

She turned her head toward Lucas and teased, “Are they always this scared of you?”

Sloane walked backward in front of him, watching his serious expression. With a smile, she teased, “I was only joking. Why so nervous?”

Lucas‘ eyelid twitched hard twice; his brain scrambled to find a response.

“Sloane, hurry up!” Jill called out from ahead.

“I’m coming!” Sloane called back, then dashed away.

Lucas finally let out a sigh of relief. A moment later, it hit him–he really didn’t need to be this nervous. Emotionally, Sloane hadn’t caught on at all; she couldn’t even read the signs.

Part of him felt relieved; another part, disappointed. His emotions bounced all over the place.

The group arrived at the stables to pick out their horses.

Samson charged ahead, buzzing with excitement. “Sloane, I’m picking the best horse for you, you’ll be super comfortable, I swear!”
