winked in my direction and I blushed crimson. It was crazy, but it seemed like he knew what I had just been thinking about. Did he know that I had never seen a horse up close?
    “And then maybe sometime tomorrow we can shoot some hoops,” Lee suggested to Kain.
    “Sure,” Kain replied.
    “That was so good, Mrs. Walker!” I complemented.
    “Well, thank you,” she smiled.
    After dinner, Lee’s parents went to bed because they both had to go to work the next morning. The rest of us stayed up and watched a movie before going to bed ourselves. The Walker family lived at a much slower pace than everyone else I knew back home. That was probably due to the fact that the Walkers lived in the country and I grew up in the middle of a bustling city. Not feeling the pulsating crowd or the drive to move faster was strange. It was like spending a day in your own little world and it was growing on me surprisingly.

    I woke up the next morning to be welcomed not by the normal sounds of police sirens blaring and people shouting, but by the sounds of morning crickets and birds!
    I sat up slowly, the realization of where I was hitting me straight on as I stood from my bed to look out the window. When my eyes adjusted to the bright morning sun I was startled to find a pair of eyes staring right back at me!
    I jumped back as I let out a scream and tumbled off the side of the bed. I picked myself up and ran for the door as fast as I could. I had no idea what it was but I was getting out of there! I slammed into something solid as I ran from my room and looked up, completely startled.
    “Good morning,” Lee smiled.
    “What?” I stammered, trying to shake the drowsiness, “There-there-there’s a giant black thing in my bedroom window!”
    I stopped myself as I realized the words that I had just blurted out made no sense.
    I felt confused eyes peering at me and I turned to find Shane, Sara, and Kain all sitting on the couch. Suddenly, I felt my face burn red with embarrassment as I realized what I looked like. I hadn’t even bothered to change out of my pajamas and my hair was knotted up into a messy ponytail. Why was I the only twin that ever got caught in these embarrassing moments?
    Gurr! Kain never seemed to get embarrassed at all!
    “What?” Kain asked, a giant smirk on his face.
    “There’s something really, really big outside my window!” I explained, not caring that Kain was being sarcastic because I was just too freaked out, “It’s black with these huge eyes and seriously it’s bigger than the window !”
    “Daisy,” Shane and Lee said at the same time.
    “What?” It was my turn to be confused.
    “She’s our Clydesdale,” Shane said, as he started to get up from the couch, “I’ll go get her,”
    “No, I got her,” Lee smiled, as he turned to me, “Wanna come?”
    It took all my might to keep my knees from buckling. That smile could kill anyone a mile away! It was incredible how much power this guy had over me.
    “Maybe you should eat first,” he said while pulling on his boots.
    He winked before heading out the front door, giving me a perfect rear view of his muscular build. Now I really was in trouble. I had to slap myself out of whatever this was!
    After changing into a more appropriate outfit and having breakfast, Lee led us to where they kept all their horses.
    As I stomped around in some boots that were way too big for my feet, due to having borrowed them from Lee, I looked at the field where the horses stood. They were all chomping on grass, chilling like they weren’t ginormous at all. But they seriously were ten times bigger up close than I imagined!
    “Have any of you ever gone riding before?” Lee asked.
    “I’ve been once or twice,” Kain replied.
    I shook my head nervously when Lee turned to ask me.
    “Nope, never,” I said, shaking my head again for emphasis, “never, ever been.”
    “Well, today’s your lucky day!" He said, handing me a helmet.
    “ What ?” I
