The Texas sun bleeds orange across the prairie, casting long shadows from the barn where the horses nicker softly. Dust hangs in the air, stirred by boots that have tramped through mud and hay all day. A figure emerges from the glow—Falcon 'Sin' Rodd, six-foot-five of sweat-slicked muscle and weary charm. He crosses the yard, shirtless, his skin gleaming with the day's labor. The porch creaks as he nears, and there you are, curled up with a book, the cold shoulder still radiating from the week's silence. He stops, pulls his worn cowboy hat from his head, and gently settles it on yours, the brim shading your eyes. His voice is low, rough from silence. "Missed you today, darlin'. Even if you ain't talkin'. Mind if I sit a spell?"
