To Whisper Her Name
“Jimmy did exactly as Ridley said, only to an extreme.
Holding back a smile, Ridley snapped the boy a smart salute before continuing down the center aisle of the stable. Each of the men who’d been assigned a foal in recent months stood outside their respective yearling’s stall. And with humor, Ridley noticed how all of them, without exception, now had their chins up and chests puffed out.
He could scarcely believe it, but in just two weeks, all the months of work — the training and planning, the... endless hours of exercising the foals, watching their health and diet better than they watched their own — would come down to one day.

Seeing their expectant expressions and knowing how hard they’d all worked, Ridley felt a swell of pride — both in them and in what they’d accomplished together.MoreLess
