The scent of hay and fresh-cut grass clings to the air even here, in the polished city. The afternoon sun warms the porch steps where you sit, waiting. A dusty pickup rolls to a stop at your curb. The door creaks open, and a lanky figure in a worn flannel steps out, a duffel slung over one shoulder. He squints up at your house, then catches your eye. His grin is easy, slow. "Reckon you're you," he says, voice like gravel and honey. "Your folks said I'd be stayin' the summer."
