Law was going to lose his mind.

“Dammit, Wiley. I need you to get Jordan to her Girl Scouts meeting. Carefully.”

“Hey!” Wiley sighed. “Never gonna let me live it down.”

“I am. Just not today. I have to get Bethany to the read-a-thon at the library and Dawn to her flag royalty thingy.” Dawn had been named one of the princesses at the rodeo, and she had stuff to do all year long.

“And me to dance, Uncle Law!” Keira was still wearing her leotard, a pair of rubber boots, and a coat. “And someone needs to do my hairs!”

To everyone’s surprise, Jordan had decided to stick with Scouts while Keira picked dance. Goodie.

“I can do it real quick,” Dawn said. “Come here.”

“Can you do it in the van, honey?”

“Sure. Come on, guys. Law’s going to have a fit.”

They hadn’t seen a fit yet. He was fixin’ to show them, though. Seth was dealing with bulls and semen and straws and was spending the night in Dallas.

He figured this was his trial by fire. The kids had taken the gloves off now he’d been there a bit.

“What are we doing for supper?” Jordan asked on her way to the car.

“Is Uncle bringing chicken?”

“No, he’s staying in town.” Overnight. God.

“Oh. Can we have tacos?”

Wiley rolled his eyes at Jordan. “Get in the car, silly. We got to go. You want me to pick up tacos for everyone, man?”

“Yeah.” He handed Wiley a couple of bills. “Thanks. Remember, no dropping off unless someone is there.”

“Got it. I’ll get beef and chicken both?”

“Yeah. Some rice for Jordan and some beans and cheese for Keira? And get some churros.” Wiley looked panicked for a second, and Law shook his head. “I’ll text, okay?”

“Thanks, man! You rock.”

“No worries.” He got it. Too much to remember could be a mess. “All right, train is leaving!”

“Choo-choo!” Keira’s joy made him laugh.

They headed out, Jordan waving madly from Wiley’s back seat. Wiley made it out without falling in a ditch, so he figured that was a win.

Dawn did Keira’s hair while Bethany read her book in the front seat. Library, dance class, arena, dance class, library, and then arena.

Text Wiley, text Seth.

Lord. Today was a big circle.

“Don’t panic, Law. You got this.” Dawn smiled at him. “I have to go hang out with the other princesses, all who have parents and plans for the future.”

“Hey! You have plans.” He thought. Maybe not college like some of the girls. Dawn really didn’t want that right away, but that was okay.

“Sure. But no one wants to hear the word rodeo when it goes pro.”

“You do you, Dawn. You come from rodeo people. Successful rodeo people.”

“I hope so.” She chuckled. “The girls are just jealous because I can ride my flag around faster than they can.”

“What’s today all about?”

She rolled her eyes. “Waving.”

“Waving.”

Bethany snorted. “Dawn is a champion waver. She’s also going to be the next Brittany Pozzi.”

“Waving is stupid. Winning the money for rodeo princess is another step toward a new barrel horse.”

“There you go.
