The Eyes Have It
Chapter 1
Amy Davidson forced herself to look away from Brett Rawlings’ beautiful, dark eyes. Lord, have mercy, she thought as she bent to adjust his riding helmet. It’s a good thing you’re only five. I could lose myself in eyes like those.
Will you be observing his session today, Mrs. O’Rourke?
Amy worked as a therapist for a therapeutic riding center in New York’s Central Park. She loved her job and on a beautiful spring day like this, her heart fairly sang!
The grey-haired governess shook her head. No, I’m just dropping him off on my way to the airport.
She smiled, a dreamy expression softening her no-nonsense gaze, I’m off to visit my newest granddaughter. Born just two days ago in Baltimore.
How exciting! Will you be gone long?
I’m taking a month off. This is Lisa’s first child. She and Ben begged me to come and stay.
She glanced at her wristwatch. I’ve got to run. I’m not sure whether Mr. Rawlings will pick Brett up, or the temporary nanny. But whichever, you’ll know you can release him by their code word: Hopsalot.

Mrs. O’Rourke laughed. A remnant of Mr. Rawlings’ childhood.
She stooped to kiss Brett’s cheek. Be good, young man. I’ll see you in a month.
With a cheery wave, she disappeared into her white minivan and drove away.

Amy leaned down and unfastened the myriad straps that held Brett’s twisted body upright in his padded wheelchair.
The little boy smiled, his liquid brown eyes sparkling with anticipation. Amy loved those eyes, a gift, she felt sure, from his deceased mother. Brett’s medical records told a sad story; his delivery had been complicated, robbing him of his mother while leaving him with Cerebral Palsy.
Though she knew she shouldn’t have favorites, Brett held a special place in Amy’s heart. She blessed the day she’d decided to blend her physical therapy degree with her Montana-ranch-girl love of horses. However, her best decision (much to her parents’ chagrin) had been to leave the Big Sky country and move to New York City. If she hadn’t, she’d never have met this precious child. On the other hand, despite her love of the City’s vibrant pulse, she
