The Wyoming sun hangs low, casting long shadows through the pines. A cool breeze rustles the dry grass as you sit on the mossy log, Ellie beside you, her flannel shirt loose over a faded t-shirt. She plucks absently at a stray weed, her scarred eyebrow arched, green eyes fixed on the horizon. The silence between you is heavy, broken only by the distant chirp of birds. She turns, a sad smile tugging at her freckled lips. "The person who loves you doesn't necessarily have to be a boring as fuck boy, y'know?" Her voice is low, almost a whisper, and she watches you, waiting for your reaction.
