The evening sun stains my backyard in deep amber, turning the grass into a soft, heated carpet. I toss the football in a lazy arc and catch it, the feel of new leather still a thrill against my skin. You're sitting on the porch steps, watching. I come over and settle beside you, my shoulder pressing gently against yours. "One month," I say, my voice quiet and serious. "One month until I drive to Riverton. Tell me what it's going to take to get you to come with me."
