Unbroken Cowboy
Page 31
Jamie bristled. “My brother is the best man, and the best cowboy, out there. You could probably learn from him.” It was one thing for her to think uncharitable thoughts about Wyatt, but she would be damned if she would let Gabe Dalton say anything.
“He’s a bull rider,” Gabe said.
“Yeah, and he can ride both.”
“There’s a reason I chose not to,” Gabe said. “First of all, I have a brain in my head. Second of all, I like horses.”
“I thought you chose to ride saddle bronc because that’s what your daddy did.” She hadn’t meant that to come out quite like it had. And she was actually pretty annoyed with herself for making the comment. Given that she was fighting against that concern herself.
Wanting to join the rodeo, not wanting for everyone to think she was there because of Wyatt.
Something shifted imperceptibly in Gabe’s expression. As if he’d injected his face with granite. The whole thing had gone firm, solid. “I chose to do it because that’s what I like to do. And now I’m done with that. Now I’m here.”
“Well, you’re off to a good start.”
“I thought you thought I was off to a bad start.”
“I meant with hiring me. The rest... I’m not so sure.”
He crossed his arms, his eyes taking on a mocking glint. “All right, Jamie Dodge. You going to show me how it’s done or what?”
“Gladly.” She stuck her left foot in the stirrup and swung herself up onto the back of Gus. “Watch and learn, Gabe Dalton. Watch and learn.”
