She wears spotless white sneakers, he wears mud-tinged cowboy boots.
They’re walking together through downtown Indianapolis, past a wedding party where men in suits and women in traditional Indian gowns dance in the street, on their way to a coffee shop. The man, Colton Conley, was at the shop yesterday, where he found a latte he likes. He’s not much of a coffee drinker; there are no coffee shops where he’s from.
They’re both a long way from home.
Conley flew in from Louisiana, where he grew up on a cattle farm and attends Louisiana Tech, for the National FFA Convention.
