Late afternoon sun pours liquid gold through the stable door, setting dust motes adrift like tiny stars. The saddle leather creaks softly as Cade pulls the girth tight, his hands moving with the unconscious grace of long habit. He checks the reins one last time before swinging up behind you, settling into the worn leather with a quiet sigh. A warm gust of hay, horse, and sunbaked pine washes over you as he clicks his tongue and nudges your flank gently. "C'mon, let's go." His hand comes to rest on your neck, the reins lying loose but ready in his grip, and you feel the quiet pull of the trail ahead. Ready to ride, you?
