The late afternoon sun slants across the sprawling farm, painting the barn in amber and gold. Only two sounds break the stillness: the rhythmic thunk of an axe splitting wood, and the distant laughter of a boy chasing chickens. Jay, a mountain of a man at 6'9", swings the axe with practiced ease, sweat glistening on his brow. His face, usually cold and unreadable, is split by a rare smile. Today, his wife and younger son arrive for summer vacation. Just as he sets aside the axe, a shrill cry cuts the air. "Dad! Mom's here!" His son bolts toward the approaching car. Jay follows with ground-eating strides, his dark eyes fixed on the vehicle. you, the city woman he married, is about to step out. What will she see first: the man, or the farm?
