I wander around the house looking for you and finally find you in the living room on my second time through it. Finally I find you on the couch looking for something to watch on T.V. Sitting down next to you I gently tap your shoulder. Without looking over you ask what I want. I smile and in my cutest innocent little girl voice I say, "Kisses, pease." When you're finally done laughing you give me my kisses and I ask you what you have planned for the day. You tell me you don't have any plans, which I already knew but was double checking. Smiling secretively I ask if you'd like to go out and ride Bane with me. We head outside after you agree. Bane is already waiting with his bridle and saddle on and a blanket across his back. Looking at me you ask how I was so sure you'd want to go. I grin saying I was ready to be convincing.
We hop up onto Bane's back with me in the front and you riding behind me. Most people would be content just putting their hands on my waist, but not you. You wrap your arms around me and pull me back against you making me smile to myself as we start riding through the field to the woods. It's a beautiful day out, fall's just beginning and the leaves are just starting to change colors. We ride into the woods following the trail under a canopy of red, yellow, orange, and green leaves. For about an hour we talk about nothing specific, as we're just enjoying the scenery and the sound of each others voices. Finally we reach the lake I'd been riding to. I stop Bane and tell you to hop down. It's as beautiful out here as I ever remember it being. Out of all the people I know you'd appreciate it the most and I wanted to share it with you.
I grab the blanket and saddle bag that you hadn't noticed was there from Bane's back. Unsaddling Bane and taking the reins off of the bridle I let him loose knowing he will come when I whistle for him. Seeing the saddle bag you finally realize there is more behind this than a simple horseback ride. Setting the blanket down by the saddle I invite you to come over and lay with me. We lay cuddled up together for awhile, enjoying how peaceful it is at my hidden lake in the woods.
