"You've ridden before?" The young man wearing perfectly pleated khaki shorts and a light blue polo shirt asked as he pulled some papers out of a drawer and slid them across the counter along with pen. The lady on the other side nodded and reached for the pen. "Just initial here and here, and sign at the bottom," he continued. "This just states that you are aware of the risks involved with horseback riding, and that you are responsible while in possession of any of our horses."

The woman quickly scrawled on the highlighted lines, Allison Leigh. Her legal name was Allison, but nobody called her that unless it was the doctors office, she was unlucky enough to answer a phone call from a telemarketer, or if she were signing legal documents. To everybody else she was just Allie.
