Lost Highways (A Valentine Novel) - Plot & Excerpts
Then, when they passed the pig races, they stayed to watch two complete races, and then they went back to the horse barn, where they caught the tail end, so to speak, of the Western pleasure riding, which Rainey likened to watching concrete set but Harry enjoyed, so she set herself to enjoy it, too. Time had slipped away, and it was nearing three o’clock when Rainey said she had to go to the motel to get some sleep. Exhaustion had hit her with a suddenness, and she wanted to lie down so badly that she almost left Lulu tied to the trailer and went off to the motel. Thankfully Harry remembered the mare as Rainey was unhooking the trailer from the truck. He even walked the horse to her stall. Apparently he had sufficiently overcome his fear, at least of Lulu, who went along docilely. On the drive to the motel it occurred to Rainey that she had forgotten to call and reserve a room for Harry. It was possible that the motel would be booked solid, with all the fair attendees and the rodeo people flooding the area.
