“It was actually quite fun. My inner thighs feel a little bit sore, though. I’m not used to riding a horse. But it was amazing.”

“Oh, you’ll get used to it,” she assured me.

“Yeah, you’ll get used to it.” Lucy winked.

I could feel my face flush. Did she know that Beau had been in my bedroom last night? As I mentioned that my inner thighs were feeling a little bit sore, it had crossed my mind that they might have been feeling sore for a very different reason. But obviously, I wasn’t going to say that to Amelia. I only hoped that they didn’t know.

“Olivia, would you like an omelet for breakfast?” Amelia asked me.

“Yes, thanks. That sounds absolutely amazing. I’m starving. Beau woke me up early for this ride, and we didn’t get to eat beforehand.”

“Oh, how come?” Lucy said.

“Well, I guess I didn’t wake up on time, and he wanted me to see the sunrise. And we only had a certain amount of time to get to the spot he wanted to take me to.”

“Wow.” Lucy’s eyes were wide. “That sounds romantic.”

I could see Amelia looking at me, and I laughed as if it were a joke.

“Not at all. Beau just wanted me to see the property because he wants my help in figuring out the cabins for the eco-retreat.”

“And that’s why he took you on a sunrise ride?” Lucy said. “Really?”

“Yeah, it sounds romantic to me,” Arya said.

“Me too.” Eloise giggled. “Auntie Arya?”

“Yes, Eloise?”

“What’s romantic mean?”

“Oh.” Arya made a face as she looked at me. “It means when a man and a woman like each other, and they want to show each other a fun time.”

“Ooh, that sounds nice,” Eloise said. “So was it a fun time, Auntie Olivia?”

“Yeah, it was a really nice time.” I nodded. “I should go and wash up real quick, though.” I was flustered now. I didn’t really know what to say. “I’ll be right back.”

“Take your time, dear,” Amelia said. “The omelet will be ready in about ten minutes. Would you like toast with that?”

“I wouldn’t say no.” I laughed. “I’m very hungry.”

“I’m sure you must be.” She nodded with a knowing look, and I could feel myself flushing all over again.

Please, dear God, Amelia couldn’t know what Beau and I had done. Could she? She seemed like the old-fashioned sort. She wouldn’t be beaming if she knew that her son and I had had carnal relations last night in my room. At least I didn’t think she would be.

“Okay. Well, I’ll be right back. I’m just going to have a quick shower and change,” I said as I hurried out of the kitchen.

“Hold on, Olivia. I wanted to ask you something.” Lucy followed behind me. “Hey, girl,” she whispered.

“Hey,” I said as we walked down the corridor.

“So I want all the details.”

“The details?”

“Olivia, I know you’re not playing coy with me.”

“What do you mean?” I said, all innocent.
