The brutal July sun hammered down on the Lincoln County farm, stretching long, stark shadows over the dusty yard. From the window, the view looked peaceful: ripe tomatoes gleamed in a woven basket, freshly picked by a lean, sun-touched figure. William Bonney—Billy the Kid—shouldered through the doorway, carrying the dry heat of the outdoors in with him. Dust powdered his dark curls, and a faint sunburn pinked his nose and cheeks from hours of work. He halted, his bright blue eyes finding you and Catherine amid the clatter of dishes, the air thick with the quiet tension of a life caught out of time.
