Let's get dirty

Kris got out of the car too and felt a wave of warmth from his heart, seeing that Lena was happy to see the horse-drawn carriage. Kris greeted the coachman, who handed Kris a soft blanket. Since they were near the big open water, the breeze might be cold for some rider.

The carriage was deep blue like the sea. The horse was very big and it was white. Lena turned to Kris and smiled. "I like this."

Kris held Lena's hand until she got inside the carriage. Kris sat down and asked if Lena wanted the blanket but she shook her head. Today was bright and the breeze was perfect in the hot afternoon.

The carriage's seat cover was opened so it would block the sun. Lena held Kris's with both her hands and leaned on his shoulder. The coachman got into his seat and the horse slowly start moving, pulling the carriage.

"Are you going to tell me where we are going?" Lena asked again.

"Still a no."
