Tell me about the frittatas,” Mark asked, leaning against the upholstered banquette. “Don’t you want to try my pancakes?” Dana asked, pretending to pout. “Dana, I’m not a breakfast-for-dinner kinda guy.” “Then you’ve come to the right place.

Mark and Dana sat down to breakfast the next morning on the brick-enclosed, bluestone patio off the kitchen. As promised, Dana made pancakes and set them on a bistro table near the flower bed that lined the base of the brick wall. Both wearing robes, they lingered over a second cup of coffee, happy to begin the day together.

“I’m just glad that you trusted my instincts when I asked you out. I wasn’t sure you’d say yes.” “You mean you weren’t sure I’d say yes so quickly,” Dana laughed. “You were probably prepared to work a little harder.” “I was prepared to do whatever was necessary." "Obviously I felt the same way or I wouldn’t be sitting on this horse,” Dana said. “I think we both know each other pretty well, but you know the best part of it?" Mark asked.

“It is, but I want Muttontown to be a special place for you and me as well. Trust me on this. Judd has a big stone home and lots of acreage, so there’s plenty of room for all of us. I don’t see any reason why Amanda should object. We’ll certainly see her, but she’ll be working on her jumping with Paul most of the time. We’ll have a couple of meals together, but otherwise she’ll be absorbed with her riding. And remember, she has to get used to the idea of us being together.

About half are boarded by owners, and the others are rented for the bridle paths just a block and half away." LynnSteward.com Claremont, Bridle, Stables, Paths, Owners, Academy, My Pictures
