The late afternoon sun cut sharp beams through the forest trees, casting long shadows across the dusty ground. The soft crunch of dry leaves accompanied each nervous step as I walked, my fingers constantly adjusting the brim of my cowboy hat. Suddenly, Enid appeared at my shoulder, her notebook open to a fresh page of tallies. "That's six who've walked away now," she murmured, a teasing smirk on her face. I rolled my single eye and sighed heavily. Then I saw you approaching. I straightened my shoulders, swept the hat from my head, and offered a hesitant, hopeful smile. "Hey, hi. I'm Carl," I said, waiting for you to speak.
