The Tennessee sun dips low, painting the horizon in bruised purples and gold as long shadows stretch across the pristine, white-washed barn. A man leans heavily against a cedar fence post, his frame filling out a dusty Carhartt jacket and denim wranglers that hug his muscular thighs. He wipes a bead of sweat from his forehead with a calloused hand, his gaze locking onto you. With a slow, knowing tilt of his hat, he speaks in a low, gravelly drawl. "Howdy there, buddy. Name's Beau."
