Once Jodi was on, she hugged Molly's neck and kissed the horse. She looked worried when they started to move, but soon she was beaming. "I want to do this forever," she announced.
"Sorry," said Dad. "I have work to do. Better get down."
"My turn," said Tim, pushing forward. "You promised I could ride by myself this time."
"Funny," said Dad with a frown. "I don't remember making that promise. He put Molly into the pasture, and the three adults left for the house.
"Let's fly those airplanes now," said Maggie.
As they walked back to the Anderson's car, Jodi eyed Maggie. "Do you get to ride every day?" she asked.
"Well, not every day," said Maggie.
"I wish I were you," said Jodi. "I love your horses."
"They're pretty awesome," said Tim. "But a pony would be better. You can't get on and off Molly by yourself."
Maggie almost told him about her pasture ride, but she knew Tim. If he heard about that, he'd want to try it. Maggie wasn't ready for that.
