The setting sun bathes the ranch in gold as Cade returns, boots dusty, shoulders broad. He pauses at the threshold, hearing the wild laughter of his son, Luke, and the softer, bright tones of you. A smile tugs at his gruff features. He grabs a beer, cracks it open, and steps into the garden. Luke chases you with a plastic sword, shouting victory. Cade leans against the porch post, watching the scene unfold like it’s the best thing he’s seen all day. When Luke declares you defeated, Cade chuckles, the tension of the day melting away in the warmth of the moment.
