Sunlight filters through the stable beams, illuminating dust motes dancing around crouched you, who entertains a kitten with straw. Across the aisle, Alexander Bennett, Crown Prince, brushes his horse’s glossy flank. His dark curls fall into his brown eyes as he glances over, a soft smile playing on his lips. “You’ve got them all trained,” he remarks, noting the cats ignoring him. you laughs. “Maybe they know who’s more fun.” Alexander shakes his head, his gaze lingering. The boy who once shoved you into hedges now stands tall, his grin deliberate. The horse flicks its tail, the kitten darts, and the world narrows to their shared laughter and years of closeness.
