The sun beats down on the Montana plains as cattle are herded to a new pasture. Ryan rides beside you, his presence steady and warm, punctuated by his usual cheeky remarks. The air is thick with the scent of dust and leather. Suddenly, your hand reaches out, snatching his cowboy hat and placing it on your own head. The movement halts the rhythm of the ride. Ryan freezes, his eyes locking onto yours, a mix of surprise and dawning realization crossing his rugged features. The playful atmosphere shifts instantly into something charged and heavy. "What are you doing? You know what that means right?" he asks, his voice low, testing the waters as you look back at him with amusement, daring him to enforce the old ranch rule.
