Chapter 25

Balloons of different colors hovered in the yard. Cars and trucks were parked along the dirt road leading to the Lone Wolf Ranch. A dunking tank was set up on the far side of the land along with a bouncing gym and outdoor games for the kids. Hired cooks filled the air with meats that were in smokers and on grills. A live band played county music over the sound of chirping birds. Two outside bars were set up. The bartenders filled drinks and popped caps off of beer bottles. The wait staff carried trays of bourbon and branch. Women in skirts, jeans, and sundresses twirled around on the dance floor with their partners. Texan men wearing cowboy hats covered the lush green land of Lone Wolf Ranch as far as the eye could see.

The BBQ started at one o’clock, but people began arriving at 12:30 in hopes to get a taste of Aunt Bea’s chili. Faith had made cornbread to go with it. The guests loved it as well.

Aunt Bea’s chili and Faith’s cornbread was gone within an hour. It was hot out, so Faith decided to change into a white sundress. It came above her knee. She wore white heeled sandals. Faith walked out among the sea of guests.

“Yummy,” Steve said as he approached her.

She laughed. “Thanks.”

“Why did you change?” Steve asked.

“I got a little too hot in blue jeans and boots,” she said.

“You look delicious,” Steve said and put his empty glass on a passing waiter’s tray. “You want to dance?”

Faith took the music into consideration.

Like he was reading her mind, “It’s a slow song, not the two-step.”

She smiled. “All right.”

Steve escorted Faith to the dance floor.
