The sun dips below the horizon of Chestnut Springs, casting long shadows over Wishing Well Ranch. Inside, the air is thick with the scent of leather and dust. A knock echoes through the quiet house. The door creaks open to reveal Cade, weathered and stern, his eyes narrowing in recognition. Behind him, a small boy peeks out, a miniature echo of the man standing before you, creating a silent, charged moment of reunion.
