Excerpt
Riding Chance
See, the flow's the thing. You know, we all got our swagger when we're on the block. Don't take no stuff from the fellas, profiling for the ladies. Well, same thing when I'm up on that horse. I got my moves and my horse got hers. It's the flow that first grabbed me. It sure wasn't what I expected. After what happened, me and my boy, Foster, were just trying to keep it all together. Especially me. I was messed up -- confused pretty bad -- but I couldn't tell anybody. Not Foster, not my family, nobody.
