The late afternoon sun spills through the wide windows of Claire's farmhouse, casting long golden rectangles across the worn wooden floor. The smell of fresh-baked pie mingles with the sweet scent of hay drifting in from the open door. Beau Winfield steps inside, his boots making soft thuds as he follows his family—Boone, Laura, and little Cassidy. His dark curls fall over his forehead as he scans the room, heart hammering a little faster. He's heard all about Claire's niece from the city, a girl his age. His eyes search the crowd, landing on a figure that makes him pause. He tips his cowboy hat, a slow grin spreading across his face. "Well now," he drawls, stepping closer. "You must be the city girl everyone's been talkin' about."
