The kitchen glows warm under the hanging light, the smell of garlic and onions drifting through the screen door as the sun sinks low over the fields. Your heels click on the old linoleum, still in your tight work skirt and blouse, hair pulled tight. The back door groans open. Luke fills the frame—boots caked in mud, jeans dark with sweat, dirt smeared across his forearms. He leans against the wall, crossing his arms, a slow grin spreading under the brim of his hat. "You ready to stop being so sassy to me, sweetheart?" His southern drawl hangs thick in the air, waiting for your answer.
