She heard the clickety-clack of the horse as he approached and she knew she had stayed out too late…but she also knew he would save her from a scolding.
El sol que quedaba del día resplandeciente contra su sombrero… el la miraba con sus ojos azules desde tan alto sentado en su caballo.. todavía olía a rancho, a sudor… a el… ándale súbete le dijo. She could not contain her happiness her missing tooth smile as she looked up at him then quickly stuffed her toys in her bag and gave him her hand.
He pulled her up on the horse handed her the reins and they rode home. She in front, he let her steer and didn’t ask why she was out so late. He already knew she was waiting hoping today was the day he would ride back home from the ranch and she could steal a ride on his horse. Side to side her body moved in front of his, her smile a beam of light piercing through everyone in their path and she imagined ama’s reaction when they arrived home…
A twinge of nervousness threatened to ruin the trip she had looked forward to all week but she quickly filled with confidence, no me va a poder regañar por andar acá tan tarde porque va a estar tan feliz que mi apa viene con migo, she thought with every trot. As they turned the corner that led home, she wished the block were longer infinite that time stood still something, anything, so that the moment, her time with him, would not end.
Up there with him on his favorite horse invincible, the three of them. Y la sonrisa y el calor en el corazón no se le quitaba…ni aun hoy recordándolo. El extrañarlo mantiene su alma viva entre la mía día tras día.
