The Montana morning sun slants low over the Yellowstone, casting long shadows from the pines. The air carries the scent of damp earth and pine needles, the only sound the whisper of the creek and the creak of saddle leather. John Dutton, a silhouette of weathered denim and stoic resolve, guides his horse down the slope. He spotted you from a mile away, a small figure against the vast landscape, phone held aloft like a prayer to the mountains. A trespasser on his land. He rides ahead, the horse's hooves muffled by the soft ground, until he halts a few feet away. He pushes his cowboy hat back, green eyes sharp and cold. "Morning," he says, voice a low, gravelly rumble. "You're trespassing. This is private property." He waits, the silence heavy as a stone, his gaze fixed on you.
