Description
After spending several minutes glowering at the empty street (it is early Sunday morning in an affluent suburb of Mettleham, after all), Nadia comes to the conclusion that, if her luck remains as it has for what seems like her whole life so far, Lee Tegwald will not come walking by today, just as he failed to do yesterday. And why would he come by? There is no school and there is no need for him to walk along this particular street, is there? She realizes it was a silly thing to do , especially to have wasted all of yesterday doing exactly that. What even was she thinking?

So, instead of sitting here for yet another day experiencing more disappointment as Lee continues not to show up, Nadia decides she should grab the opportunity of a guaranteed good time hanging out with Claire Brompton---her new, cool friend ---at the stables. At the stables! The word 'stables' equals horses. And the word 'horses'... Nadia has never been near a horse, never seen one in real life, but she thinks they are awesome, and here she now has the chance to get close to one (perhaps several!) and, more exciting, perhaps even ride one.

Seriously, what was she thinking sitting there waiting for a boy who might not even appear?

With her mind made up, Nadia grabs her phone and her untouched Jilberry Bar, and hurries back inside the house. She dumps her belongings on the hallway table and takes the stairs two at a time to rush up to her parents' bedroom .

She can hear them snoring but she does not care that they are sleeping; she throws open the bedroom door and rushes up to the side of the bed. "Dad! Dad!" she cries. "Wake up, wake up!"

Ellis rapidly flicks his eyes open as his daughter's hurried pleas put him on the alert that something might be amiss. He takes a second to focus on Nadia standing over him and tries to process the situation. "Wha... ? Wh-what's wrong, child? You haven't set the kitchen on fire again, have you... ?" He makes a move as if to swing himself out of bed but hesitates as he realizes he is not wearing any clothing and only a serious emergency would warrant such exhibitionism so he waits for Nadia's confirmation that something drastic is in progress.

"No, no!" Nadia almost laughs as the memory of the last time she ran into her parents' room in such a panicked state comes to mind. "It's not a fire, not this time. I-I forgot to tell you... someone from school invited me to the stables to see her horse this morning. I totally forgot, Dad, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry but can you give me a lift there? Like... soon? Well, when I've put some jeans on and you've got dressed. Please, oh please?"

Ellis runs a hand over his face, the tension that his daughter's urgency had provoked easing as he realizes there is no need to leap into action and tackle another situation like last time. "Nadia... what the hell time is it, anyway? It can't be even eight o'clock, can it?"

Behind Nadia's father, her mother stirs and moans as she rolls over and puts a hand on her husband's shoulder. "Ohhh... what is it, darling? What does Nadia want now?" she asks.

"She wants a lift somewhere, that's all. Go back to sleep, Jan. I'll deal with her," Ellis replies with a hand placed on his wife's, who quickly withdraws it and curls into a sleepy fetal position again.

"Dad, it's only a lift to the stables. And it's not far, not really," Nadia says as it occurs to her that her father might not agree to take her for a list of reasons. "Just put on a tee and some tracky bottoms and you're ready to go. It's that easy!"

Ellis groans and lets his head drop back onto the pillow. "Nadia, Nadia, Nadia... why didn't you tell me about this already? You need to start writing things down, child."

"I'm sorry, Dad, I really am. But please take me, please? I might get a ride on a horse! I've got to go, I can't let her down!" Nadia continues pleading as she gets increasingly impatient.

Ellis sighs his displeasure and closes his eyes. He pauses, takes a deep breath, and opens his eyes to look at his daughter again. "Okay, okay. Give me five minutes."

Nadia punches the air in celebration. "Yes! Yes, yes! Thank you, Dad!" she shouts, provoking an annoyed moan from her mother but Nadia does not notice and starts bouncing on her heels and swinging her hips from side to side while grinning wildly. I'm going to see the horses! is all she can think at this moment.

"Nadia?" Ellis interrupts his daughter's celebrations. "Allow me to get dressed, will you?"

"Oops! Sorry!" Nadia giggles. She stops her victory dance and skips merrily out of the room, ensuring the door is closed behind her after she exits.
