Elijah nods. "I also have something to tell you..." he starts, unsure how she'd reply. He nods, taking a barrel and putting it in it's area. He then mounts Whisper and follows Dakota and Secret.

"What is it? You don't want to buy a house yet?" She teased, trying to gently prod it out of him. Her smiled dropped. "What, Eli?" She asked, growing concerned.

Elijah smiles, "That's not it" he chuckles. He hand her an envelope. When she opens it she'll see that he just won a jackpot from a lottery.

"What the fuck. No way. It's gotta be fake." She said, laughing in disbelief. She beamed at him. "You know this is the start of our lives together, right? Like, the actual start of you and me getting a house, barn, and having kids." She was nearly crying in excitement and joy. She jogged Secret over alongside Whisper and leaned over to kiss Eli. She giggled in happiness, kissing him again. "Still want to see me win the rodeo, or no?" She asked, wondering if plans had changed.

Elijah smiles, "I have the reciept for buying the lottery ticket it you don't believe me" he says kissing her back. "I'd love to see you win the rodeo, don't think that I don't" he says hugging her. "I was just unsure of what your reaction would be, I'm so glad you're happy" he says

"It just feels not real. I'll enter tonight." She says, jogging Secret around the barrels.

Elijah nods, "What's mine is yours. The money is all yours"

"No, it's not. You won it. You don't need to give a single cent to me, Eli." She said, taking the prancing Secret over to the marked spot for runs. "Could you time me? My best is 15 something." Dakota asks Eli, patting the mare's neck. Dakota draws up the reins, and lets the mare go. The two of them shoot off, blazing around the first and second barrels. Dakota urges the mare to go faster as they round the third, going down the homestretch. Dakota pulls Secret up last minute, preventing her horse from hitting her head.

Elijah nods, pulling out his phone timer and starting it. He then slowed Whisper down, giving Dakota and Secret the space. He then started timing her.

Dakota lopes Secret over to Eli and Whisper. "My time?" She asks, scooting up next to him.
