Penny's first instinct was to make a run for Copper but she hesitated at Matt's offer, considering which was the best course. "I don't know, what do you think?" she asked, uncertain. On the one hand, if she took her mare, she'd have a bit more control but then, if she didn't she wouldn't have to worry as much about what she was riding into and she imagined Matt had a better idea of where they were going than she did. She hated feeling so helpless, something that she had never experienced before, at least not to this extent.
