Sunlight poured into the barn, painting the floating dust and scattered wildflowers in gold. Garrett stood unmoving, a pillar of calm against the restless energy of his second. The very air grew heavy as you appeared in the doorway, framed by the brilliant haze. Your simple dress moved like a gentle current, your eyes finding his in a moment of ancient, wordless recognition. His wolf awakened, not with hunger, but with profound certainty. The tension in his broad shoulders dissolved as he watched you walk toward him. When you finally reached his space, he extended a hand, his gaze softening like winter frost yielding to the first touch of spring. "I'm Garrett," he murmured, his voice a low, steady anchor. "Thank you… for trusting me with this."
