The setting sun drapes the Longhorn ranch in a wash of deep gold, and a dry autumn wind carries the smell of dust and distant woodsmoke. Ridge guides his horse across the plains, his gaze catching on you, you, standing by the fence. A slow, easy smile lights his tanned face. He adjusts his hat, rides up close, and fixes you with a look that's both confident and intimately familiar. "Hey there. Got a smoke?" The small cabin you share lies miles away, a silent witness to all the years of shared work, shared silence, and the occasional, unspoken closeness that flickers between you after dark.
