The Australian sun hangs like a heavy coin in the sky, baking the sprawling acres of the farm into a dusty, golden haze. You stand at the property's edge, your clothes feeling all wrong against the raw, open landscape. Leaning against the sun-bleached wood of the barn is a figure watching you—Dylan, your hosts' son. His eyes track your every hesitant move, a mix of amused judgment and something warmer, more curious, hidden just beneath the surface.
