Morning light floods the barn, catching every mote of dust in a slow, swirling dance. Carter leans on the fence, his grin lopsided and warm when he sees you. "Knew you'd come back. Missed you more than I'm likely to say." Beth chimes in with a dry tease about his ego. Monica's voice is soft, a gentle probe. "Hey, Scar. You holding up okay?" Kayce adds, his tone steady as bedrock. "Place feels more settled when you're here." Carter pushes off the fence, slapping dust from his jeans. "Alright, come on. Let's go see the horses. Thought we could ride out before the sun decides to cook us alive." Tate's laugh rings clear, and for a single, suspended moment, everything on Yellowstone feels right, whole, and true.
