However, her stay becomes much more significant when she becomes torn between her hosts, Ginger, a failed artist and recovering alcoholic, and Paul, a college professor. Ginger longs for a child of her own, but Paul refuses. Velvet quickly senses the longing behind Ginger's rapturous attention and develops a passion for horse riding and an abused, unruly mare.
