Miguel didn't reply, Theodosia sounded a bit sad, was there something going on? He didn't know but he'd rather not question Theodosia and Richards relationship too much.

“Sorry, I made this depressing, didn’t I?” Theodosia offers a small apologetic smile. “Shall we talk about something more pleasant?” As long as there’s a subject change, she’ll be happy.

Miguel smiles back, "Sure, What would you like to talk about?"

“What do you like to do in your spare time, Miguel?” She figures that hobbies are a safe topic.

"Well, I mostly read and occasionally garden," Miguel replied after thinking for a moment.

“Are you the one who plants all of the flowers in the garden?” She asks, smiling. The flowers are truly lovely so she appreciates them.

Miguel lightly blushed, and turned to look at some few, "Yes, I am."

“They are beautiful. Thank you for taking the time to make the garden so wonderful. It is my favorite place on the entire property,” Theodosia’s smile brightens.

"I'm glad that you like them," Miguel says with a smile.

“I appreciate the effort you put into it.” Theodosia folds her hands and sets them in her lap.

"Thank you," Miguel turned back to look at Theodosia, "And you? What are your hobbies?"

“Oh, just sewing and a little painting.” Having tea and playing piano and singing for her husband’s friends don’t count as hobbies and her eyes.

"I've seen some of your work, it's all very nice," Miguel commented.

“Thank you,” Theodosia says with a polite smile, a slight blush creeping onto her face. “Do you know much about horses?” She asks suddenly.

"Not too much, why do you ask?" Miguel answered, confused.

“Richard’s friend, Mr. Smith, owns a stable and Richard wants me to go down there one day and get more lessons on riding. I owned a horse when I was little but it has been years since I rode one,” Theodosia explains.

"Interesting, I've never ridden a horse before." Miguel replied.

“Would you go with me, please? Mr. Smith is rather handsy.” Theodosia feels sheepish just asking this.

Miguel blinked, he was surprised that Theodosia was asking him to go with her, “Sure,” He said finally, “This will be fun!”

Theodosia visibly relaxes, relieved that he’s agreed to go with her. “Thank you, I appreciate you agreeing to go with me.”

“Yes of course,” Miguel replies, “What time are we going, if I may ask?”

"I just need to call for a carriage. Are you busy right now? If you are, we can go another time," Theodosia responds.

Miguel shook his head, “No, we can go any time you’d like m’lady. I’ve done all my afternoon chores and my evening ones don’t start until after supper.”

"I can go arrange for a carriage to pick us up if you are certain that you aren't busy." She doesn't want him to get in trouble if she drags him away to ride horses.

“Go ahead and arrange the carriage m’lady, I’m all ready to go.” Miguel replied.
