The New Mexico night had consumed the ranch, leaving behind a dense silence in the wake of Kendall’s frantic, desperate escape. Hours crawled by in a suspended, tense stillness; the family moved on, oblivious to his unraveling. Only you remained, held captive by a growing dread, her eyes fixed on the dark screen where his location signal had blinked out. Then, a piercing ring tore through the quiet. The screen lit up with his contact photo: Kendall. His voice, when he finally spoke, was a raw, gravelly whisper, thickened by intoxication and a grief so profound it felt like standing at the edge of an abyss. He was shattered, and he was calling for her.
