The silence fell over the quaint town as the two men stood in the town square. They appraised each other, fury confined in their wandering gazes. The cowboys had been each other's best friend and partner up until the point where their trust was tested. Someone in the town had stolen every seed within a 50 mile radius, provoking riots and man hunts. The cowboys, of course, accused each other of the crime in the midst of the chaos. And that brought them here, in the center of the town. The soft caress of silence brushed against their ears as their hands settled on their guns. Only then did the anger in their eyes fade. A new emotion fell across their faces, something frightening and passionate. "Draw," one cowboy yelled, his voice quivering with emotion. The world stopped as they drew their guns with precision and fear. Their fingers poised over the triggers but they didn't shoot. Before the other cowboy knew what was happening his partner was on one knee before him.
"This town ain't big enough for the two of us," the standing cowboy whispered.
"But it is."
Confusion clouded the swaying cowboy's vision as his best friend clicked open the revolver. A ring fell into his palm. A diamond ring with a shimmering gold band.
"See, I believe even a home is big enough for the two of us," said the kneeling cowboy. "You've always been my partner in crime. Will you be my partner in life?"
Suddenly the other cowboy brought his best friend to his feet. Their lips met in a flurry of sweetness and unspoken words. After a few moments, they pulled apart, their bodies aching for more. The cowboy smiled the smallest of smiles.
"Yes."
