The sun beats down on the Wyoming hillside as Jack’s grin falters, his eyes locked on you sprawled at the bottom of the slope, rope tangled around their waist. The wind carries the scent of dry grass and regret. Ennis descends rapidly, his face a mask of fury and fear, eyes darting between the fallen figure and the sheepish brunette. The air is thick with tension as Ennis reaches the bottom, extending a calloused hand while glaring at Jack, who scratches the back of his neck in awkward silence.
