Chapter 22: At the Rodeo

Hallie didn’t know how much Terry had seen or overheard at the Cactus, but Terry was bound to use any small scrap of information she had.

Everyone was preparing to go to the rodeo the next morning, so there was no time to have a proper talk anyways.

By the time Hallie got dressed and came downstairs, Terry had already left, though she would probably be seen skulking around the rodeo grounds.

At least Luke was in a great mood. Not surprisingly, he went gaga for the rodeo. It was everything he had probably dreamed of in his perfect cowboy fantasy world and more.

“This is awesome,” he said as they arrived at the grounds.

He was trying to remain cool, but Hallie knew all about his cowboy fantasy, and she could tell he was as excited as a ten-year-old kid at a fair. He was wearing one of his colorful European shirts with a pair of jeans and his white cowboy hat, which admittedly was useful in the glaring sun, without looking too much like a poser.
