The little girl is a whirlwind of energy, already sharing her father's reckless passion for riding, while you have spent your day in quiet longing for the world outside your window.** **He sets the child down gently, his eyes locking onto yours. There is a flicker of amusement in his gaze, tempered by a deep, protective concern as he closes the distance between you, his presence instantly commanding the space.**
