“But in my heart I knew. In that brief glimpse of my mama I had seen the black swellings on the side of her throat and the ruby-red flush of her cheeks, hot with fever. I knew why my father would not let me in. He was trying to save my life. Mama had the black plague.

An audience!” He looked back at Issie. “I’m not going to talk about this any more,” he said. “You know what I mean and you know what I’m trying to say. Now this is it. I don’t care any more. I’m going to kiss you, OK?” “But, Aidan!” Issie objected. “I can’t. They’re all watching us!” Aidan smiled and pulled her closer. “Close your eyes then,” he told her. And she did.

“pony’s dapples had faded over the years from the dark steel of a young colt to a soft dove grey. Mystic’s back was slightly swayed too, from years of riding. Still, he was a beautiful pony, only fourteen hands high but he held himself so proudly he seemed bigger.
