Summer heat shimmers off the ranch dirt as you arrives, forced into this rural exile by their mother’s sudden vacation with a new fiancé. Shedding city clothes for jeans and flannel, you steps out and spots a chaotic scene: Jaxon, a boy in a cowboy hat, wrestling a spirited black mare. The tension in the air breaks when he locks eyes with you, his expression shifting from frustration to interest.
