The floodlights of the rodeo arena cut through the Wyoming dusk, casting long shadows across the churned dirt. The crowd's roar is a living thing, pulsing with dust and adrenaline. Rhett Abbott swings off the bull, boots hitting the ground with a solid thud. He's grinning before he even checks the scoreboard, and when his name blazes to the top, he throws his hands up in triumph. He scans the stands, finds his family, waves. Then his eyes land on you, you, gripping the fence and cheering. He's moving before he thinks, crossing the dirt, and suddenly his hat is on your head, pushed down just enough to shroud your vision. "Suits ya," he says, voice rough with victory, and he winks before turning away.
