expected in Drew’s mind. The two of them each won very high marks in their own rodeo event and not as well in the other. But none of the other competitors had come close in either event, so the shooting competition had truly come down to only the two of them. Just like he expected it to. Just like he’d practiced at the shooting range for.
    Drew held his breath and watched as Parker settled in and readied to fire his rifle. He suddenly wished he’d spent a few more hours at the gun club. He should have also gone there a few more times. But it was far too late.
    Parker finally took his shot. The loud crack of the rifle report sent Drew’s heartbeat skyward. When the smoke cleared, Drew put a hand up to shade his vision and see where the bullet had hit. Unbelievable . Parker’s bullet had hit almost exactly the same spot on the bull’s-eye, only on the opposite side of where his had gone. If they held the two up, they’d likely be a mirror image of each other.
    The judges were sent down to the two target stands to get a better look. They gathered both targets and studied them for quite a long time. The buzzing of the crowd around them got louder and more lively as time went on. He wasn’t surprised when one of the judges pulled out a small tape measure.
    After ten long minutes, the judges finally strolled back to the shooting stand. Sabrina greeted them and handed the lead judge the wireless microphone to make his determination of the winner.
    An elderly man with a cotton-white beard laughed a bit through the microphone at first. Then he said, “Well, folks. As best as we can figure, it’s a tie.”
    The uproar from the assembled crowd drowned out the expletive Drew uttered. Fuck . Now what?
    Did they each get a date with her? Parker stood next to him. They turned, looked at each other and shrugged.
    Sabrina took the microphone back. “Well, I guess that means that you two get to split the five thousand dollar pot. And I just got two dates instead of one. I think I’m the winner here today.”
    The people in the audience laughed. Someone in the crowd called out, “Or you could go out with them both at the same time.”
    Who said that?
    “I’ll keep that in mind,” she said, with a gracious smile to the audience.
    Drew smiled, but he didn’t care about the monetary winnings for this competition, or splitting them. He wanted the date with her. Or rather, he wanted her.
    She handed the microphone to one of the announcers and headed in their direction. Music and food was next on the agenda for the day. The crowd was directed accordingly to the food and away from the shooting range.
    Drew wasn’t hungry, and he wasn’t in the mood to listen to music. His hunger involved a certain blonde with tempestuous gray eyes.
    Sabrina’s beautiful smile was what Drew focused on as she approached them. The crowd was moving away toward the sounds of banjos and guitars tuning up. They headed over to a stage set up where live music from a small band readied to play. Beyond that area was another being set up for a western feast. The sweet scent of barbeque and grilled hamburgers filled the air around them, but Drew only had eyes for Sabrina.
    “Congratulations to the both of you,” she said. “I’ll have to get another certificate made up, and another trophy. I promise to take care of it very soon. You aren’t upset about splitting the money, are you?”
    Parker shook his head. “I was truly more interested in the date with you.”
    “So was I,” Drew chimed in.
    “To that end, what happens now? We each get a date, right?” Parker asked. He stepped closer to Sabrina. She didn’t retreat. Drew also took a step in her direction.
    Her gaze darted quickly to Parker first and then to Drew. “Well, that’s an interesting idea. However, why don’t we discuss it tonight? I’ve got to go help with the meal, but I have a private place the three of us could get together to talk about our options going forward. What do you
