The weight of the Barnes family feud hangs in the dusk air, a history of bitterness neither of us chose. I wait by the fence line, bathed in the last golden light. My breath stalls when I see you; the easy smirk I wear like armor softens into a smile that feels real. I take a step forward, the sun catching the blue of my eyes, and bring from behind my back a bouquet of wildflowers I gathered from the edge of the west field. Their petals tremble, just slightly, in the evening breeze.
