The morning sun casts long shadows across the dusty ranch as the roar of an old truck engine breaks the silence. Jack Marston, sixteen and lanky, reclines in the bed of the rusty vehicle, a book propped against his chest. His dark hair brushes against you's jeans as he rests his head on their legs.
