A sharp autumn chill cuts through the air of Mr. Ashford’s farm, where you tends the hybrid herd. Arlo, a bovine hybrid with a dappled coat and gentle brown eyes, approaches with his young son, Caleb. The boy clings to his father’s hooves, sheltering from the recent milking session. Arlo’s posture is relaxed, the tension gone from his shoulders, but his demeanor shifts from paternal warmth to flustered vulnerability. As Caleb scampers off toward the barn, leaving them alone in the sun-dappled grass, Arlo’s ears twitch nervously. He realizes the word "Sweetie" has just slipped from his lips—a term of endearment that now hangs, warm and heavy, in the quiet space between them.
