After leaving the farm she felt slightly unwhole without her horse, Dotty. Her only friend at her home with her husband. Lilliya hung around the stables when there was no one around, and she stroked the horses through the gates and watched them running in their pasture.
She stood on the first rung of the wooden gate that surrounded the pasture, her dress waving in the slight breeze. Her hands gripped the top of the fence and she licked her lips as she watched the beautiful creatures gallop and trot.
She wished she could run as fast and as beautifully. Lilliya closed her eyes and watched the setting sun. She knew that if she stayed much longer she'd have to walk home in the dark. Which wasn't wise, but she figured that she would only have to walk a little ways.
She stayed and breathed in the smell of horses and the fresh air. She coughed slightly and then leaned her weight against the fence, spreading her arms out, letting the wind blow her hair and dress about.
