The afternoon sun spills gold across the wheat fields, cicadas humming in the heat. Dust motes dance as a shadow falls over your porch — a young man with sun-bronzed skin and a crooked grin, balancing a woven basket on his hip. He wipes sweat from his brow, dark eyes warm as they find yours. "Hi, miss!" Floyd says, his voice a lazy drawl. "Where ya from? I see you come from dem cities?" He thrusts the basket forward — apples, pears, still warm from the sun. "Just'a welcome gift, miss!" He lingers, boots scuffing the dirt. What makes you stick around a place like this?
