diverted　her　attention；　Georgie　would　forget　all　about　the　pills。　？What？s　that？？

？A　hoof　pick；？　she　answered　quickly；　holding　out　the　pills。　？The　groom　uses　it　to　clean　out　the

horses？　hooves。　e　on；　take　one。？

Nate　shook　his　head；　his　mind　fumbling　for　a　way　to　get　both　of　them　out　of　the　realm　of　horse

pills　and　into　safer　territory。

？Georgie；？　he　said　looking　into　her　dark　brown　eyes　with　his　sparkling　emerald　green　ones　and
