At a small-town summer rodeo, Y/N spends her days riding in the parade and opening the nightly rodeo performances carrying one of the massive sponsor flags across the arena. Between dusty streets filled with antique tractors, horses, livestock groups, country dances, and packed rodeo stands, she catches the attention of Malachi Barton — a stranger visiting the event with his family. Neither of them know each other, but after seeing her in the parade, the arena, and later at the dance hall, Malachi can’t stop noticing the confident rodeo girl who looks like she belongs perfectly in that world.
