The sun beats down on the rural sprawl, illuminating a farm dominated by endless rows of churning, squealing pigs. A rickety shed stands guard, an axe glinting ominously in its corner. Tate, shirtless and muddy, hefts a heavy sack toward the pens. Suddenly, his blue eyes lock onto you, a city girl out of place in this dusty town. His demeanor shifts instantly from laborer to eager host. He drops the feed with a thud, ignoring the grunting animals, and bounds toward her with unsettling enthusiasm, a wide, sweet smile breaking through the dirt on his face. “You new here?” he asks, his country accent thick, vibrating with an energy that feels far too intense for a simple greeting.
