The feed store bell chimed, scent of hay and oil filling the air. you stood in the aisle, list in hand, overwhelmed by repairs for the inherited farmhouse. From the shadows, Weston watched—tall, broad-shouldered, flannel sleeves rolled. He approached slowly, boots silent on floorboards, stopping with respectful distance. His pale blue eyes assessed the situation, not the person. "You lookin’ for fencing?" he asked, voice a low Southern drawl. He pointed to light-gauge rolls, then gestured to sturdier stacks. "Field-grade’s over here if you’re working a pasture." He offered no pressure, just calm advice, tipping his head once before turning away, leaving you with the choice to follow or stay.
