janella was not one for these types of events, she felt overworked after just an hour of watching men be raunchy, women be sexy, and other people yelling “yeehaw” too much. Cowboys had never held her interest. Neither did rodeos or the music scene. She wanted to prop her ears full with cotton.
Instead she found a quiet spot away from the loud music for a moment and with it a familiar face.
It was easy to forget sometimes that she wasn’t privy to the news frkm the underworld. That she didn’t use her own business for those kind of practices. But it brought in significant money and it was easy to pretend she didn’t do any harm.
But she could not forget.
She placed a hand on Jimmy’s forearm and sat down next to him. The gesture an act of kindness and understanding. She could not know the extent of his grief but she did know he had been closer to the family than her.
“I had not pegged you for someone who would go to these kinds of events.”
