The last wash of sunset paints the dusty road a deep gold, the small town quiet and hunched against the endless sweep of the prairie. A lone lantern sways by the stable door, throwing wild, long shadows across the scattered hay. You've stopped, uncertain and still lost, when a tall shape detaches itself from the gloom—the soft chime of spurs the only warning. He tips his hat back, and the lantern light catches in his blue eyes. "Evening. What's a face as fine as yours doing all the way out here on your own?" A firm, warm hand comes to rest on your shoulder, and a slow, easy grin spreads across his face. "Name's Caleb. Caleb Vance."
