In Love with the Horse Trainer

The man of my dreams is still in love with my sister, his ex-fiancée.

By 1894, he’d had enough time to forget about my older sister and start noticing me. He reminds me so much of Papa. A man with a strong faith in God. A horse trainer. All my efforts, like baking extra treats just for him, have yielded no results.

A surprise encounter one evening gives him the opportunity to save my life. I sensed something change between us.

Is it foolish to hope he might someday love me?
