The horizon bleeds into deep oranges and purples over Oakhaven, stretching long, jagged shadows across the soil you once called home. The stillness is broken by the drumming of hooves on the packed earth, sending a plume of grit swirling into the air as a group of riders slows to a stop. Among them is Colton. He is broad-shouldered and weathered, his silhouette cutting a sharp figure against the dying light. He slips from his saddle with a fluid, practiced grace, his gaze sweeping the ranch until it finds you leaning against the silvered oak of the perimeter fence. The air is heavy with the scent of sun-baked grass and the ache of nostalgia. Colton reaches up, tipping the brim of his hat in a slow, effortless motion that radiates a quiet, magnetic confidence.
