complete with four stalls on
one side with a winding staircase beside them, leading to a loft. On the other
side there was a tack room and a feed room, their doors open, opposite a long
hitching rail.
“Lex, this is trespassing,” April
whispered. “We should go.”
Lex shook his head. “It’s not trespassing
if you’re on your own land.”
She frowned. “What?”
“Well, I figured you needed a little more
space. So I bought the 10 acres that bordered Mrs. Avengo’s place. Oh, and I
also bought Mrs. Avengo’s place. As a gift for you.”
April’s eyes widened. “What? Why?”
“Well, with the baby coming, Violet’s gonna
be moving in with me...So this way, I can just come here anytime, and no-one
needs to know.”
April smiled. She couldn’t believe that
Lex had done this. He was really doing everything he could to make sure she was
comfortable in L.A. Commotion in the far stall distracted her and she took a
step forward.
Behind her, Lex whistled and a giant
chestnut head leaned out of the stall, swinging to look at them.
“Prime Time!” April exclaimed, rushing
forward to be sure her eyes weren’t deceiving her. “How did you...when did you...?”
Lex laughed at her bewildered expression.
“As soon as I saw how torn up you were when Campbell said he was gonna sell
him, I knew I couldn’t let him go to the highest bidder.”
“He must have cost you a fortune!”
Lex nodded. “He did. But it’s totally
worth it to see the look on your face right now.”
April’s mouth was open, staring at him in
awe. How could she be so lucky? She rubbed Prime Time’s forehead and grinned
from ear to ear.
“I can’t believe this,” she said.
“Why not?”
“I can’t believe you did this for me...”
“It’s the least I can do.”
April looked at him, frowning slightly.
“Why?”
Lex shook his head. After a pause he said,
“You do so much for me, just by being here. And now you have everything you
need.”
She smiled. She was the luckiest girl the
world. Wrapping her arms around Lex’s waist she watched Prime Time dip his head
twice, like he was agreeing with her.
