«Take care of the drunk, maybe he’ll marry you!» — shouted the head nurse. But no one could have imagined WHAT would happen in a minute…

Daniel listened to her, not interrupting. When they left the restaurant, the air was fresh, and the streets quiet. «I will give you a ride», — he suggested.

Marina hesitated, but still nodded. When the car stopped near her house, Daniel lingered for a second. Marina, his voice was soft, but something else was heard in it.

She turned to him, expecting continuation. But he only smiled. «Thank you for the evening».

Marina nodded and, without turning back, disappeared in the entrance. She did not know what will be further. But felt this is not the end.

The next day Marina returned to the hospital, deciding that everything will enter the usual rut. But she was wrong. The rumors spread instantly.

«Well, how is it to dine with a billionaire?» — asked one of the nurses with a smile, as soon as she changed into uniform. «And did he give you a gift? Or immediately the keys to the mansion?» — giggled another. Marina heavily sighed.

«Girls, let’s without this», — she answered tiredly, hiding irritation. But the most unpleasant turned out that Tamara Williams, finally, found a new topic for barbs for herself. «Well, Marina», — she drew out, deliberately slowly passing by.

«I told you that everything is going to this». Marina did not answer, but felt how anger boils inside. «Why do they all think that I am with him for benefit?» She herself did not understand what is happening.

But something suggested, this story is only beginning. Several days passed. Marina tried not to think about Daniel, but he, it seemed, was not going to disappear from her life.

First it was flowers. Simple, without a note. The orderly brought and put on the table in the nursing.

«This is for you», — she said with a smirk. Marina blushed, but answered nothing. Then there was a call…

«Hi, Marina», — his voice sounded softly. «Do you have time on the weekend?» She thought. But something inside suggested.

«Don’t refuse». «Good», — she answered quietly. On Saturday he picked her up from home.

This time without security, without pathos. «Where are we going?» — she asked, buckling the belt. Surprise! He smiled mysteriously.

And already in 20 minutes she saw a horse ranch before herself. Marina blinked. «Are you joking?» Daniel smirked.

«No, I love horses and thought that it will be interesting for you». Marina was confused. She never rode horseback.

But when an hour later she sat in the saddle, holding the reins and feeling how her horse slowly goes across the field, she caught herself on that she is laughing. For real. Without anxiety, without fear.

She turned to Daniel, who rode nearby, and suddenly understood. This person is not at all the one he seemed in the hospital. But why did he choose exactly her? Marina felt how fresh wind plays with her hair, while she sat in the saddle, enjoying a leisurely horseback walk.

She still could not believe that this is happening to her. Nearby rode Daniel confident, relaxed, completely different than the person she saw first in the hospital bed. «How do you like it?» He turned to her, holding the reins with one hand…
