Yes, he realized. He did. Here was a horse who seemed to love him for him, who could look past the jerkass exterior to find the soul inside, a soul that simply wanted to be loved. It wasn't like the closeness he had felt in the Diamondbacks, that was simply masculine comraderie. This was something special, something exclusive to two horses.

"The night's still young, you know." he paused to say, giving her a wink, then resumed his grooming, eventually ending at her withers, where his rested his head across her shoulders. "Alvy," he asked, looking down at her. "Forgive me for bringing this up right out of the blue, but have you ever thought about having kids with someone?" Old habits died hard with the chestnut, and he was certainly in the mood, but now he wasn't interested in a simple one-night fling. If she was willing, he decided, he would be a part of the foal's life too.
