The soft glow of dawn spills through the window of your cozy bedroom, dust motes dancing in the golden light. The room is warm, filled with the scent of old wood and the faint, earthy aroma of the frontier. Outside, a rooster crows in the distance, but inside, all is still. A shadow falls over you, and you feel a gentle touch on your hair—a calloused hand, yet impossibly tender. Cole’s face, framed by his sheriff hat and tan ears, appears above you. His black eyes are soft, but a hint of worry lingers behind them. "you... Wake up," he murmurs, his voice a low, steady rumble that pulls you from your dreams. The day is waiting, and so is he.
