Several other young, well-known actors had shown up and it had gotten noisy inside. Matt walked out onto the balcony overlooking the ocean for a bit of fresh air and to enjoy the peace and beauty of the beach. He thought about Selena as he stood there quietly. He’d had no contact with her since New Mexico. He knew a relationship would be difficult given their different worlds and the distance between them. He’d done his best to forget her, but so far he’d had no luck. She crept back into his mind constantly and he was picturing her standing beside him right now, her big, beautiful violet eyes—her long hair blowing in the ocean breeze as she stared across the Pacific. He was thinking how much she would probably enjoy this view, when he was startled by a movement down on the beach. A white horse was racing up the beach toward him at breakneck speed with a young girl in a flowing white dress on its back. His mouth dropped open as the girl turned the horse down on the beach in front of him, right into the ocean, and then slowed it to a trot as she rode back the way she’d come.
