The young lady didn’t seem put out by his topic, instead she seemed wishful. Jeremy nodded at her comment, “I should love to teach you sometime.” And that was too forward, of course, he smoothly added, “With your aunt’s permission of course.” Although given what he’d learned of her thus far he doubted she would be allowed, especially after a riding accident.

“I do, although not as much as I would like. There always seems to be something else that needs my attention.” Granted flying had never been his first love. He’d enjoyed it, tried out for the team because it was the thing to do. He’d even been surprised he’d made the team in the first place.

“I hope you don’t mind me asking, but do you still ride?” He certainly couldn’t blame her if she didn’t any more. But part of him wondered how she had reacted to the accident last summer, versus how her family had reacted. What had been her decision and what had been her aunt’s?
