Mistake Or Intentional?

The strange question of Ethan brought everyone back to reality as they felt embarrassed and at loss of words.

Alex had keen ears and he should have noticed the sound of hooves of several horses, yet it looked like he was lost in the eyes of Oliver! A man!

The thought left a bitter taste in the mouth of the siblings.

Even though they could feel the embarrassment, the horse did not know any of it.

After finding its master after the accident, the horse neighed aloud and ran towards Alex in excitement like a wild animal.

"What about your mother?" the question buried under the sound of neighing as Alex turned to look at the group and stood up abruptly covering Oli behind him.

"Do not come closer!" he announced in a commanding voice, surprising them. Were they right in their conjusture and the master was going to command them to leave.
