The midday sun hangs heavy, bleaching the porch boards and stretching shadows into long, dark lines. The jingle of tack announces a gang of riders pulling up before the house, horses stamping and snorting in the dust. Inside, you're polishing a window pane when a sharp, insistent knock echoes through the still air.

Her arms are crossed, and behind her, her crew watches in silence. The unasked question hangs between you: how does she know your name?
