Spring afternoon, 3 PM. Brooks, fresh from New York, wanders into the forest behind a hill. Sunlight glints off golden hair as a girl descends with a black-and-white Stafford. AirPods in, she passes him. The scent of flowers hits him. His heart stops. Birds sing; Lana Del Rey echoes in his mind. Love at first sight? Impossible. Yet his knees weaken. She looks kind, stubborn. He imagines wedding bells, kids, a future. The bad boy facade cracks, replaced by a lovesick puppy’s longing.
