struggled to make this relationship work as he was never home and arrange they would especially reserved for that day.
     
    This morning his buddies from AR Steel Company going to stop by and try to cheer him up. He had already had the beer, his buddies came and talked and shooting the shit remind him and it temporarily from Adrienne.
     
    Joshua watched as they left later that afternoon, in their old pick up trucks some of their flatbeds full of hay and others full of chickens and ranch equipment. They were all country boys around here. Full fledged country boys. They turned down the country road and heading towards Michigan Street. He was lucky that he had such good friends who actually cared, and he never understood how people could go through life without having good friends. Friends were as important to have, as the air that you breathe. Joshua had many faults, but the one thing he did not lack was to be a friend. To have a friend, you have to be a friend. He was told by his father, who seemed to understand that friendship will get you through the worst of times.
     
    Joshua had been working at the steel plant earnestly, when he had met these good friends. He had wondered what life was all about, why he kept getting kicked in the nuts by Karma. It was his friends, who rode Harley Davidson motorcycles, had more tattoos than a sailor from war, and who could drink anyone underneath the table with their pools of whiskey and rum, that kept him on the straight and narrow and had helped him keep it together, when he was unraveling like a spool of thread.
     
    It was when he put in a 12 hour shift at AR Steel Corp. that he had met her. Adrienne. The pretty young girl who lived on the outskirts of town on a small farm that raised horses for racing. He was heading back home, but very tired and exhausted, and had fallen asleep at the wheel. He had run into the back of her. Luckily, she was not hurt, but she had come out of her truck yelling and screaming. There were only a few scratches on the bumpers, but Adrienne had a hot and scorching temper, and she sure let him know that she had not been too happy about him running into her. She yelled, she screamed, she cursed, she hit him against his arm, but after was all said and done, all he had to do was to look up at her, and with those cool blue eyes of his, the eyes of gods before him, Adrienne had instantly shut up, and had fallen in love with a man, a stranger, a man who could look into her soul. Minutes after, Joshua's charm had managed its way to flatter her, and they had a date that night, after he got some well needed sleep, to go to Laura's cafe for a cup of coffee and to talk about how much he would owe for any damages done. Unbeknownst to Joshua, the damages that had been done to Adrienne had been internal, and it had affected her heart.
     
    For their date, Joshua wore a large brimmed cowboy hat. It was black, and had a black leather sash around it. This was his ball breaking hat. His bull riding hat. The hat he wore when he wanted to put on a good show. And tonight, he wanted to put on a good show with Adrienne. He waited on the corner for her. She was already fifteen minutes late, and he wondered if she had stood him up. She hadn't, for moments after, she came to him, like a dream, wearing long ribbons in her curly hair, and a wispy clean summer dress that loosely fell from her tiny frame. When he had seen her, he grew instantly aroused, and his hardness bulged from his well worn Levi jeans. His heart grew the size of what grew in his pants, and along with it, grew a great big smile. Adrienne was quite a woman. They went to the cafe, and within minutes, they were holding hands, looking into each other's eyes lovingly, where the sunlight of the summer's day looked earnestly upon them. And that's when he fell in love. With a rich spoiled girl whose family bred a line of winning race horses, whose name was Adrienne Fury.
