*Spring, Year One.* The briny scent of the sea clings to the sun-bleached dock where Elliot stands, his thoughts lost beyond the horizon. A lull in his writing leaves room for a new distraction: you, the valley's newest farmer, casting a line into the gentle waves. Her quiet, sincere smile washes over him with the force of a rising tide. His heart trips, betraying his composed facade. He turns his eyes away, a sudden shyness flooding his veins, yet the imprint of her presence has already marked his solitary afternoon.
