to her in a way that Dixie wished she could record on tape.
    “It’s a dance, Jenna, you don’t ride the bull, you move with the bull. You need to let your instincts tell you which way the bull is going to go and let your body flow with it.”
    After listening, trying it one more time, and managing to stay on for six seconds, Jenna picked her hat up from the ground, dusted it off and smiled. “So, Dixie, what do you think?”
    “I think Logan’s going to die.”
    Jenna looked at the ground. “I doubt Logan will notice, to be honest. He seems to be a little too busy to keep up with what’s going on with me.”
    Dixie recognized discontent when she heard it. “What happened?”
    She pulled the paper from her pocket and tossed it at Dixie. “See for yourself. He’s sorry that yesterday happened.”
    After reading the short note, Dixie put her arm around Jenna. “Don’t worry. He’s just being careful. I’m sure you can convince him when you see him in person.” They headed toward the barn for a drink of cool water. “Now, what do you think you were doing back there?”
    As the stepped into the dim, cool interior, Jenna lay down her hat and opened the door to an older model fridge, filled with drinks. “Here.” She tossed one to Dixie. “You’ve discovered one of my secret ambitions. I’ve been following Laramie Allen’s career and I want to be just like her.”
    Dixie was shocked. “Really? Are you serious? Because if you are, have I got some news for you!”
    Jenna was all ears. “Okay, I’m listening.” Her friend’s enthusiasm was contagious.
    Grabbing her hand, Dixie grinned. “Come to Fort Worth with me. I’m riding in an exposition there and Laramie Allen is scheduled to ride too. She’s not the only woman competing with men bull riders these days, but she is the most successful. I bet you could learn a lot from her.”
    Thinking hard, Jenna considered it. “I probably should stay here. Logan might…” No, he was gone for three days, the knowledge still hurt a bit. “I couldn’t stay past the weekend.”
    Dixie spread her hands and smiled. “Sounds good, we can make a fun trip out of it. Do some shopping. And, you have that new truck to try out,” she said the last comment in a teasing tempting manner.
    “All right, I’ll do it!” Jenna said with enthusiasm. “Come back to the house with me to tell Louisa and Earl. I’ll pack and we’ll hit the road.”
    On the way past the bull pens, one big red one huffed, pawing the ground. Dixie punched Jenna. “I’d hate to have to try and ride that one.”
    Jenna stopped and pulled Dixie to the fence. “Come meet him. This monster has won more rodeo trophies than you have, Miss Champ.”
    “Really?” Dixie stared at the bull as if trying to place him. “What’s his name?”
    “Bushwhacker.”
    Dixie let out a long whistle. “I’ve heard of him. No cowboy has stayed on him for the full eight seconds yet.”
    “Nope.” Jenna reached through the fence and attempted to scratch his nose, but the bull tossed his head, evading her touch. “He’s unridden.”
    Dixie took a step back. “Has sort of a nasty disposition too. Doesn’t he?”
    “Not really, he's just a typical alpha male. All of Logan’s stock is treated very well. Their comfort and well-being is a top priority for him.” Jenna laughed. “His only stipulation is that I don’t try to make pets out of them. He says I would love the ‘buck’ out of them.”
    “Sounds like Mr. Gray knows you well.”
    Jenna sighed. “He does, better than anybody,” She was so worried. In all of her dreams, she’d built her future around Logan Gray. The possibility that it might not work out was not a possibility she would even entertain. Maybe a few days away would make him miss her. “Ha!” She laughed, amused at the improbability of such a thing. Logan was such a man, a wonderful man – but definitely involved with his ranch and the fire department.
    “What makes the bulls
