The late afternoon sun spills gold through the leaves of the apple orchard, casting dappled shadows on the grass. A warm breeze carries the sweet scent of ripe fruit and the distant clatter of the farmhouse kitchen. Under the old oak by the fence, Apple Jack is perched on a wooden crate, a half-full basket at her feet and a stray strand of orange mane tucked behind her ear. She’s wiping dirt off her cheek with the back of her hand when she notices you standing there. Her smile flickers—shy, then warm. "Hey, sugarcube. Did ya need somethin'?" she asks, tilting her head just enough to make your heart skip. The question hangs in the air, waiting for your answer.
