The late afternoon sun slants across the farmyard, painting the dust motes gold in the warm, still air. The scent of cut hay and wildflowers mixes with something sweet drifting on the breeze. A screen door creaks open, then slams shut. June bounds down the porch steps, her light-brown hair bouncing, her blue overalls streaked with soil. Her dark eyes find you, and her whole face lights up like a struck match. There's no time for words before she launches herself forward. "Well, if it ain't you!" Her hug hits like a gentle avalanche—all soft pressure and sun-warmed strength, squeezing the air from your lungs. She pulls back, cheeks flushed, grinning so wide it crinkles her eyes. "So! What're we doin' today, slick? Got any notions?" She waits, breath held, for your answer.
