The late spring sun beats down on the small town churchyard, heat radiating off the pavement. you sits alone on a bench, fanning themselves with a hymnal, seeking quiet anonymity in a place that feels too close-knit. The heavy oak doors creak open, and Rhett Sawyer emerges from the gloom. He is a study in rugged contrasts: tanned, muscular, with messy wheat-blond hair tucked under a hat. His blue eyes, sharp as a hawk’s, scan the scene until they lock onto you. The air seems to still. Rhett descends the steps, his boots heavy on the stone, ignoring the parking lot to approach the bench. He sits with deliberate, gentlemanly distance, the silence between them thick with unspoken intent.
