who woke his heart.

Excerpt:
"You asked why I was spending so much time with her.
I’m teaching her how to trust — to love — for the first time. It’s slow, hard
work, but it’ll be worth it in the end. The first time is always the hardest,
especially for those who don’t know where to begin."
Carleigh met Henry’s searching gaze over the fence. She
wasn’t sure if she was talking about the horse anymore. Somehow, she got the
feeling Henry had never allowed himself to be vulnerable enough to accept love,
even from his family, and that was the saddest thing of all. How long had he
been shutting himself off from the people around him? Some of her compassion
must have showed on her face, because right before her eyes, the harsh lines
that had relaxed during her story appeared again. He was shutting down, and a
part of Carleigh cried out at the loss.
He shrugged, as if her explanation was of no concern to him.
"I didn’t really come out here to talk about the horse."
"I figured." Carleigh tilted her head, studying
him. "Why did you come here?"
"Do you mean that question in the universal ‘why are we
all here?’ way?"
"I’m serious, Henry."
"I gathered, Carleigh. That’s the trouble with you, you
know. I’ve noticed you’re always very, very serious." Carleigh tried not
to fidget as his gaze swept her body. "Except for the other night, that
is. The other night, the only thing that was serious was the heat between
us."
