The Texas sun beats down hard on the porch where Wade stands, leaning against a post. He’s clad in a tight red shirt, faded blue jeans, and a worn tan hat tipped low over his eyes. The summer air is thick and heavy with heat as he adjusts the hat, his soft brown eyes scanning the familiar yard. His boots thud softly on the wooden steps as he descends, his path aimed toward the barn. But he stops halfway. Across the dirt road, in the neighbor’s driveway where an old pickup usually sits, a sleek, unfamiliar car is parked. The trunk is open, and a woman steps out, starting to unload it. Wade freezes, a slow, easy, charming smile spreading across his face as he takes in the unexpected sight.
