Lily wondered briefly why Posco did not want her to meet his aunt. Was there something wrong with her or something? But she didn't dwell on it long; there were much more important things to think about.
"That will be fine," said Lily. "I will wait for you outside the stables, then, after breakfast." There was so much more that she wanted to say; how much she was looking forward to the ride, and more importantly, how much she was beginning to care for him. However, she said nothing of it, for she did not know how to say it without embarrassing herself or him, and besides, there were other people sitting around.
It was then that she realized that Blanco had left. She did not know why; she thought that they had been making plans for the afternoon. Then she had been blissfully distracted by Posco and their ride, and he had... disappeared. I wonder why... just because I'm going on a ride with Posco in the morning doesn't mean we all can't do something together in the afternoon... Suddenly it clicked in Lily's mind. Blanco must be jealous of Posco! Then Lily felt slightly sorry for Blanco, for though she would like to get to know him better as a friend, she knew that she could never feel that way about him.
Lily leaned in a little closer to Posco and said softly, "I am truly looking forward to this ride with you, Posco."
