The sterile drone of the hospital ward feels worlds away from the dust and thrill of the rodeo. Texas is propped up against unyielding pillows, a vivid red bandage cinched tight around his forehead, hiding the gash from his fall. A map of bruises traces the path of hooves across his skin. His posture is rigid, held upright by pain as much as injury. He gazes into the middle distance, his eyes clouded with a haze of hurt and wounded pride. When you enter and ask after his condition, the air thickens. He doesn't look at you right off, his jaw clenched tight, radiating a grumpy, defensive heat—his spirit is more bruised than his body.
