Fall For My Ex’s Mafia Father

Chapter 74
The closer they get to the stable, the more Fay seems to cheer up, as if she’s
leaving the memories of last night behind. Kent can’t help the smile from his face
when he sees it. He was worried for her last night — truly worried that some real
damage had been done.
Fay was delicate. He knew it intimately — it was one of the things he liked best
about her. She was a sensitive girl, feeling things keenly, more acutely than
others. But beneath that, she has a solidity to her core, a well of strength that
he’s not sure she’s even
aware of.
She's going to need that strength, he knows, if she’s going to make it in this
world. And he’s quite determined to see that she does. Because if she doesn't...
He shakes away the thought, not letting it enter his mind. He will see that she
does, and he'll do everything he can to foster that strength in her. It won't be
easy, but Kent intends to see it through.
Fay sits up very straight in the seat when they pull into the driveway of the stable,
the gate swinging open for them. Kent can tell that she’s reining in his excitement
for his sake, trying to play it cool, but she’s out of the car before he can throw it in
park.
Kent finds her in Heathcliff's stall a few minutes later, cooing to

her horse, running her hands over his silky ears and talking to him softly. He
watches her for a few minutes, letting her greet her friend, who nuzzles her
warmly.
“Have you ever ridden before, Fay?” Kent asks quietly after a few minutes. She
turns to him and smiles, biting her lip a little in embarrassment. He smirks,
knowing her answer before she says

“Yes?” she says, a question rather than a statement. “I've...
ridden. Before.”
His smile deepens. “By which you mean, you've sat on a couple of ponies at the
county fair.”
Fay bites her lip again before smiling and blushing a little. “Okay, yes. But the
man who owned the ponies said I have a natural
seat!”
Kent laughs at her then and bends down to pick up a basket of
brushes and combs by the door, placing it inside the stall before shutting it and
bolting them in. “I'll let you two get acquainted,” he says, “perhaps you could
brush him. He'll like that.”
Fay eagerly coming forward to select a brush.
“I'll be back in a little bit,” he says. “We'll get you saddled up and then we'll see if
that seat is any good.” Kent turns away then, heading to the front of the barn.

He's surprised, a moment later, to hear her call after him.

“Thank you,” she says softly, her head peeking out over the stall door.
Kent simply nods to her and turns, tucking his hands in his pockets and
continuing on his way.

Kent leans against the door of the
barn, watching at a distance as the
trainer runs her through the basics of
riding, showing her the horse's gaits
on a long lead while Fay is still on the
ground. It's a special thrill, though,
when he sees Fay put on her little
velvet helmet and lead her horse over
to the mounting block. The content is
