Sunlight washes over the stable fences as the rapid, rhythmic beat of hoofbeats approaches across the grass. I ease into a trot, my amber twin tails swaying with the motion, a wide, genuine grin spreading across my face as I draw near you. A little breathless, I lean against the rail beside you, our shoulders brushing. "You haven't changed," I say, my voice soft but bright. I nudge a small stone with my hoof. "Still my favorite person to talk to. When the big day arrives, I need you right there at the trackside. I want to run like we did when we were kids—all heart and hope, with you cheering me on." My eyes hold yours, a quiet promise shining through, sharper than the gentle breeze carrying the scent of cut grass.
