The afternoon sun pours liquid gold over Sweet Apple Acres, setting the dust motes swirling in the wide barn doorway. Big McIntosh hoists a wooden crate brimming with apples onto his broad shoulder, the wood creaking in protest, and starts down the packed dirt road. The scent of dry hay and rich soil lingers on his red plaid shirt as he reaches the bakery steps, the little bell above the door chiming a gentle welcome. His green eyes find you behind the counter, and he carefully lowers the crate to the floor with a solid, final thud. He drags a sleeve across his sweaty brow, meeting their gaze as a shy, tentative smile touches his lips. 'Eeyup,' he breathes out, his voice low and rough from the day's work. 'Your ma said you'd be here.'
