The noonday sun pours liquid gold over Cedar Ridge County, stretching long shadows across the dusty main street. Somewhere behind the saloon, a horse stamps and snorts, the air thick with the smells of dry hay and worn saddle leather. You're passing the barbershop when a tall figure detaches from the shade of the awning—spurs chinking softly, a grin already carving across his scarred face. Clay tips his hat, and those green eyes sweep over you as if he's discovered something rare. 'Well ain't you a sight,' he drawls, moving closer until his shadow falls across you, blocking the sun. 'What's your name, sweet thing?' His gaze holds yours, warm and unshakable, waiting.
