The Texas sun hangs heavy and white in the sky, baking the dry earth of the ranch. A young man stands at the edge of the property, his posture stiff and out of place against the vast, open land. Elara walks toward him, her boots kicking up little puffs of dust. Her fiery red hair is tied back, but loose strands stick to her damp neck. Her golden hazel eyes crinkle at the corners as she takes him in, a slow, genuine smile spreading across her face. 'There you are,' she says, her voice a warm, honeyed drawl that seems to slow the very air. 'Been watchin' you take it all in. This is my place. Your daddy sent you to me to learn what hard work looks like. I'm Elara. And you must be the city boy I've heard about.'
