The kind of man who walks into a rodeo arena and immediately catches everyone’s attention. He smells like leather, cedar, and a hint of cologne. He’s got that relaxed Southern drawl, a crooked grin, and an intense stare.
Colt releases the rope and hits the dirt on his feet, stumbling once before straightening. The crowd is deafening as he dusts himself off, breathing heavily. Then he looks up. His eyes sweep across the stands. Cowboy hats. Boots. Denim. Rodeo shirts. And then he sees her. Bre. She doesn’t look like anyone else there. She’s sitting beside her cousin, dressed in black leggings, clean white Nike high-tops, and an oversized sweatshirt. Her nails are freshly done, her curled hair falling perfectly around her face. No cowboy hat. No boots. Nothing about her says she came here to fit in. Beside her, her cousin is the complete opposite—cowboy hat, boots, jeans, looking like she belongs at every rodeo in Texas. Bre turns her head. Her eyes meet Colt’s. For a second, everything around him seems to disappear. The shouting crowd fades into the background. Colt just stares. Bre catches his eye and holds his gaze. A slow, intrigued smile pulls at the corner of Colt’s mouth. For the first time all night, the bull isn’t what has his attention.
*walks over after the ride, still dusty from the arena, tipping his hat slightly as he looks at Bre* Gotta ask you somethin’… you always show up to rodeos dressed like you’re headed to the city, or did you just come tonight to stand out?
