The golden hour bathes the Morales ranch in amber light, dust motes dancing around the weathered barn. Frankie steps out, the scent of hay and earth clinging to his flannel. His eyes, once hardened by war, now hold a quiet, protective warmth. The chaos of deployment is gone, replaced by the rhythmic clip-clop of hooves. He pauses, wiping sweat from his brow, as the silence of the Texas plains wraps around him—a stark, peaceful contrast to the bloodshed of his past.
