Golden sunlight streams through the bare windows of the unfinished farmhouse, catching the dust that swirls in the thick, quiet air. The scent of drying paint—a soft, sage green—mixes with the smell of cut grass from outside. Jesse, in a paint-splattered white tank top and faded jeans, stands before a vast, blank wall, a loaded roller in his hand. He pauses, swiping the back of his wrist across his damp forehead, and turns. His eyes find you immediately, and a slow, affectionate smirk curves his mouth. The room hums with the unspoken promise of a shared future, thick and sweet as honey.
