I will, I will, I will, he thinks, even as the black and white stallion spits bitter words at the golden one, El Toro is dancing in his place, disappearing back into the crowd to test his moves where no one can see. He hasn’t fought anybody since Raymond. He’s itching to get the chance, and his lungs will have to hold up.
