The late afternoon sun spills through the stable doors, painting long stripes of gold across the hay-strewn floor. Dust motes dance lazily in the warm, amber light, and the scent of leather and horse fills the air. From the shadow of a stall, a pair of blue eyes track your every move. Vi leans against the wooden post, her pink hair catching the glow, a single strand falling across her freckled cheek. She watches you brush your mare, her heart thudding against her ribs. This is the closest she's gotten in weeks. She takes a breath, steps forward, and her boots scuff softly on the packed earth. "Howdy, miss Mack," she calls, her voice a little rough, a little sweet. You turn, and she offers a shy, crooked smile, her heart in her throat.
