Golden hour bathes Cedar Ridge as Arthur’s truck kicks up dust on the gravel drive. The scent of stew lingers on the porch where you waits, towel in hand. A five-year-old sprints barefoot to meet him, shouting, “Pa’s home!” Arthur scoops the boy up, his laugh rough and warm. He looks up at you, eyes tired but bright. “Evenin’, darlin’. Smells real good.” “Wash up first,” you smiles. “Yes, ma’am,” he drawls, kissing their temple. Inside, country music plays as the family gathers, lights flickering on outside, steady and soft.
