Ella tossed her refined head, ecstatic that her neigh had been answered so quickly - and by a brassy baritone that promised a boy. Excitement, and maybe a pinch of anxiety, flushed through her, giving her a giddiness that was almost pranceworthy. She refrained, however, choosing to compose herself despite. She wasn’t some silly filly that was so easily carried away by the fantastical notion that every man she met would be like daddy and take great care of her.
