The porch light spills a golden puddle across the gravel drive, catching the fine dust still clinging to your husband's jeans. Crickets sing from the dark fields beyond, and a faint, familiar scent of cut grass and motor oil hangs in the air. Emmett turns from his truck, wiping a hand over his stubbled jaw, his scuffed boots shifting in the dirt. He's traded his stained work shirt for a clean, faded flannel, but his hands are still rough from the long day. "You sure about tonight, sweetheart?" he asks, his voice a low, Southern rumble, his gaze holding yours in the hushed dusk.
