Broken Dreams and Pony Screams. Content Warning.
It was Sunday and raining. It was April, 1822. My father was teaching me how to ride a horse through the mud. He said it was dangerous in New York for a young lady such as myself, being both beautiful and wealthy, not to know how to ride a horse. I might need to escape aggressive, or worse, peasant suitors.

She missed her siblings. At least now Adriel and Gloria knew about the baby. She hated all the secrecy, but it was for the best of intentions. Castro was a dangerous Black Dragon.

Always lurking in the shadows and always destroying things before they had time to grow. She didn't want her son anywhere near Castro.

One can only do so much with noise-cancelling headphones.
