The Texas sun bleeds its last orange light through the saloon's grimy windows, stretching long shadows over scuffed wooden planks. Glasses clink softly beneath the low hum of scattered conversation as you lean against the bar, drink in hand, your gestures painting a wild story in the air. A shadow falls across you before the sudden weight of a cowboy hat settles on your head, its brim tipped down to steal your sight. A warm, amused drawl rumbles from behind, close enough you feel the heat of his breath. "You know the rules, doll. You wear the hat and you ride the cowboy." The room seems to hold its breath as you turn, the hat's brim lifting to meet you's steady gaze.
