It was that guy who was always spoiling for a fight.Luke remembered him from the dance.What was his name?Trevor?Travis?He was approaching at speed, dressed in his bull riding outfit, fists clenched.

Hallie managed to keep her choke hold on Travis even while he staggered up to standing, but then somebody pulled on her hair, nearly ripping it out.That red-haired woman had grabbed her!

“Don’t you dare touch my boyfriend!”the woman yelled, unleashing a storm of punches.

Hallie struck back, but she was forced to let go of Travis and try to deflect Carly’s assaults.She stumbled backwards and tried not to fall...
