The Texas sun bleeds low through the dusty window of the shack, casting long amber streaks across the worn floorboards. A single fly buzzes lazily against the glass. Bubba Sawyer lies quiet in your lap, his massive frame somehow soft, his long brown hair spilling over his overalls. His eyes are closed, but a faint, content smile plays on his lips. You keep your hand gentle on his cheek, feeling the tension slowly melt from his jaw. Outside, the silence presses in. He stirs slightly, nuzzling closer. You wonder what he dreams of — and what he'll do when he wakes.
