A SHORT STORY FROM THE "WILD HORSES" SERIES. Kai learned not take anything for granted – not the big things, not even the little ones. A couple of months living on the streets taught him good and hard. Taking charity his hard. Gifts? Impossible.

When Kai agrees to join Attila for a dinner with Attila's sister and his husband, he thrills at seeing a chink in Kai's armor. Occasional treats – not frivolous indulgences – help a relationship run nice and smooth.

Kai makes good progress in his learning – but he also has a thing or two to teach.

To Attila, as well as to his newly extended family.
