Contents
Jillian Ross ordered a bottle of the houseâs best wine and tipped back in her chair at her table near the window. Considering that the bar, centrally located in downtown Cheyenne, Wyoming, was called the Thirsty Cow, and the best vintage available was a cabernet she could have picked up at her local grocery store, she was pleasantly surprised by how good the first sip tasted.
Maybe that was because Ordering the Best Wine Off the Menu was a line item on her list of One Hundred Life Adventuresâa set of goals sheâd composed during radiation treatments for breast cancer two years ago. She was determined to accomplish every single objective, and then some, now that she had a second chance at living. It felt incredibly satisfying to cross off another ambition, even if she wasnât in a five-star establishment. Just being in Cheyenne fulfilled another goal, since Seeing the Western States had also made the list.
Actually, the travel category accounted for almost a third of her line items, now that she thought about it. Sheâd hoped her new job as a film location scout would put her in the perfect position to see the worldâor at least the United States. Too bad she was already at risk of losing this gig.
âCan I get you anything else, miss?â asked a tall, harried waiter in a T-shirt printed with the name of a local college. Balancing a trayful of beers, he set her bottle on the table.
Country music blared through the Thirsty Cow, the Friday night crush a mix of local ranchers and tourists, peppered with military personnel from the air force base. Jillian had driven in from Pasadena three days before to meet with a wealthy ranch ownerâthe reclusive and powerful Cody McNeillâto try to change his mind about allowing a film crew on his land. Her mission was hampered by the manâs complete lack of presence online. How could she make a personal pitch if she couldnât get a direct line to him?
