Theo nearly chuckled at her greeting, looking slightly smug as he smiled at her. 'No, not really,' he said casually, an almost mischievous look in his eyes.
'Should I remember something special?' he asked innocently, while pretending to think carefully. 'Oh that's right, the horses needed exercise today. How could I have forgotten?' he asked, still highly amused.
'Care to join me?' he then asked, just as innocently, though he knew his façade was not what it could be had he put even a slight bit of effort into it. Not that it mattered, he wanted to surprise his wife, not disappoint her. He wondered what she thought he had planned - if his gift this year was like last years, when he'd given her a foul that was now a beautiful young stallion.
