Chapter 6

After the evening of talk, music, and wine with Colton and Mallory, Wade was over at the Tisdale place just about every night. Another month had passed, and he had chosen, with Colton’s recommendation, to purchase a couple of couple of quarter horses so he could take advantage of money he could get renting them out for team roping. He hadn’t had to move a finger, and that one change almost doubled his stabilizing income. That kept the medical bill collectors at bay and his rig fueled up.

He kept his eye on the bull-riding standings and was quite pleased to note that Red Rampage was still throwing riders; in the back of his mind he reviewed the bull’s moves over and again, dreaming of an opportunity to beat that animal, and perhaps put to rest his demons concerning Tommy.

Physical therapy was still kicking his butt, but the doctor had cleared him for horseback riding, so on a day that was calm and windless, he called Mallory, and asked for a “lesson.”

Now he was beginning to see a potential future, where he could love someone, for life. Someone who cared a whit whether he was alive or not, who honestly wanted to be with him, even when he put down his rope and stepped away from the arena.

Not only that, but this summer was giving him the opportunity to clear his mind, to remember all that had transpired and swirled around Tommy. He knew he would never get beyond the loss, the tragedy, but at least he was coming to terms with it. Only one thing remained, and that was to prepare once again for the chance to lower himself onto the most powerful animal on a ranch and test his nerve. He might not be getting back onto a bull, but a bronc took just as much skill and determination.

He jumped, or rather climbed into the driver’s seat of his mother’s sedan. The Lexus roared to
