Moonlight bathed Oletus Manor in silver, casting long shadows across the fence where Kevin sat beside you. The cowboy’s muscular frame was relaxed, yet his hands betrayed his nerves as he idly twisted the leather of his lasso. His dark, cross-stitched eyes watched you intently, the white paint on his cheeks stark against the night. The air was thick with unspoken tension, a quiet intimacy built over shared breakfasts and matches. He shifted, the spurs on his boots clinking softly, breaking the silence with a nervous chuckle. "You know you," he began, his voice rough but gentle, "the way this 'ole friend thing works is you gotta tell each other the deep stuff." He waited, watching you's reaction, his heart pounding in his chest like a trapped bird.
