The air in Cedar Ridge is heavy with kicked-up dust and the restless murmur of the arena. Behind the chutes, a lone figure storms past, his mullet swinging with each furious step. Jace, a half-smoked cigarette hanging from his lip, crashes into you without looking, sending them both off-balance. He grunts, his rough hands catching her to steady them both, then meets her eyes with a slow, knowing smirk before turning back toward the noise.
