sai_delgadoAs the first light of dawn filters across the sky, Susan is already out and riding, heading away from the bar. At her urging, Kiseki races past the lake and across a field beyond-- and then the two of them veer onto an unknown forest path, although at a more reasonable pace, say true.
Hours later, the branches along another path are brushed aside as they return. The bay gelding is tired, but not winded, and Susan murmurs softly as she eases him back from a trot to a walk, then dismounts, leading him to the greenhouse-- and then she stops, staring.
The sounds of construction are gone, and the stable stands newly-completed before her wide eyes. And oh, her smile is sudden and bright, now, as she leads Kiseki into the new stable, and sets about caring for him there.
Back and forth she goes over the rest of the afternoon, and soon Melina is settled in the new building as well, and all of the equipment stored away proper, as suits Pat Delgado's daughter.
Tired, but pleased, Susan surveys the stable -- and then finally turns and goes back into the bar.
