"Maya here is my own best friend," Malachi smiled at the mare. "She was...a friend of mine's. I took her in because she abandoned her. She means more to me than most know."
Malachi frowned. Maya and him both. Abandoned by the most wonderful woman, who just had to have more. Someone like her could never settle down. Malachi had been naive enough to believe that thier love would calm down Silvia's wild, free nature. He was wrong, very wrong about that. He wasn't even sure if she had ever loved him in the first place.
"Who was your friend?" Sola asked, narrowing her eyes. "It's terrible. To just abandon the poor mare."
"Her name was Silvia," Malachi said, shrugging. "She was pretty close. I thought we were...best friends. Well it's a long story and it deserves more time than this. It's getting late...we'll miss dinner if we don't hurry back."
Malachi collected their things and rubbed Maya down with a brush to get out the fresh tangles the wind had brought.
"Ready Sola?" He asked. She looked back at the cave longingly. He smiled. "We'll have to come back soon. It's my favorite spot around here. I come when I have free time, though here on the ranch, that's rare. Tomorrow though, I have more to show you. I'm sure you'll enjoy it just as much."
