Chloe stood by the GLD arena, watching the other teams school. As the grullo splashed horse soared through a combination, Chloe couldn’t help but think about being able to compete at a show like this one day. She had the Sport Pony Championship coming up soon, but that wasn’t the same. The tour she had wanted to do with Lucifer was cancelled, and Solo was still too young to be in the big leagues.

The bleachers shift as someone takes a seat next to her. She turns to see Michael, a kind smile on his face, watching the arena.

“How did the team do?” Chloe asks, breaking the silence.

“Decently. Lance and Ashton are still pretending they’re not sleeping together, Jase is still ignoring everyone else, Cas is still by far my favorite, and Eden is still ignoring everything I say out of spite.”

Chloe snorts, re-adjusting her head on her hand. “Has Jekyll at least started to improve her social skills?”

“A bit.”

They sit in silence for a few more moments, just watching the frenzy of horses school. Michael looks down to check his phone for a second, then smiles, types a reply, and shuts it off.

“What was that about?” Chloe asks, looking down at the now black screen.

Michael sits silently for a second, thinking through his response, and says “You know Zachary De Luca?”

That made Chloe stop in her tracks. Of course she knew who Zachary De Luca was. She’d been keeping up with his and his mare Primrose’s show-jumping career for forever now. Primrose has been her favorite mare to watch go since always.

“Yeah, ‘course.”

Michael opens his phone, taps at it for a couple seconds, then nudges it over to Chloe, open to a text conversation.

Chloe frantically scans over the words, eyes going wide.
