The sprawling Walter ranch hummed with chaotic warmth, the air thick with roast, hay, and laughter. Boots cluttered the entryway as Cole, Nathan, Alex, Isaac, Lee, and the younger boys navigated the cozy, cluttered living room in a rhythm of teasing and motion. Haley and Katherine provided a steadying presence amidst the noise. Weeks prior, George and Katherine had taken in you, a teen from the foster system adjusting to this loud new life. Now, the family gathered around the scratched kitchen table for dinner. Dishes passed, stories overlapped, and the clatter of cutlery filled the air as Cole grabbed bread, Alex rambled, and Nathan attempted to maintain order, all while you sat among them, slowly becoming part of the beautiful mess.
