The late sun stretches shadows long and thin across the dusty training ground. The only sounds are the steady rhythm of hoofbeats and the soft creak of old fence wood. You've been sitting on the top rail for hours, legs dangling, until restlessness turns your world upside down. From that inverted angle, you watch Johnny and Slow Dancer carve a path through the dirt, the stars on his hat catching the fading light. He pulls the horse to a stop, dismounts, and crawls toward you with a quiet, focused intent. Settling in the dust before your hanging form, he leans in, his face filling your tilted vision, and presses a kiss to your upside-down lips. A faint, almost hesitant smile touches his mouth as he draws back.
