Chapter 19

I didn't know anything about the business side of this but if he never changed the name, his uncle just might have a stake in it as he said.

"So can you switch it now? He might have some claim but only to the few you sold already, right? Anything in the future would be yours."

His hands had gone to his head out of frustration, knocking his baseball hat to the ground as he rubbed back and forth over his face and back up to his hair.

"I wish it was that simple. Everything I have built up to this point is in the name of the company. He could come after me for any future earnings from the livestock I created. SHIT!"

He kicked the broken board again. This time, it splintered and threw wood particles everywhere.

"Okay, so you fight it. We both know this isn't fair and the law has to see it that way."

"I wish you were right but I can't see it working out for me. Nothing ever does."

"Please don't give up. You tell me all the time how I need to fight. I'm here. I will help you anyway I can."

"But for how long?"

That question changed everything. "As long as you need me."

"That might be something you come to regret saying."

"Maybe, but right now it's all that I have to offer."

"Then I will take it."

The mood never went back to the place we were at that morning. There was no longer a smile that was genuine coming from either of us. We both knew his uncle had a point and the last thing Canyon wanted to do was be in business with that scum bag.

Eventually, I decided I needed to go home after hours of Canyon looking on the Internet for laws around this mess and coming up with nothing. He was so engrossed with the computer I simply kissed him goodbye and promised I would be back the next day. He muttered a simple, "Bye" in return and went back to his research.

I walked home wishing I could ask John for advice, but I knew nothing good could come from asking him anything.

The following day Canyon wasn't much better when I got there. He was sweet as usual but the light in him had burnt out. He was a shell of the man I knew two days prior. I hated his family for putting him through even more hell than he already was forced to endure.

We played with the puppies, worked with the foals and even went out for another ride trying to do anything that would allow him to clear his head. Nothing worked.

The rest of the week went pretty much the same way. I had school, Canyon trained, and then I would meet him back at his place. We worked in the barn, watched some TV, and I would go home. I didn't know what he needed but I knew being there helped. At least he wasn't alone.

Friday came and with it so did the rodeo.
