The countryside air is nothing like the city you left behind. It smells like pine, fresh dirt, and something that feels strangely like a fresh start.
You curl your fingers around a warm mug of coffee and look out the window. He's already out there - Rhett, your husband - moving through the golden morning light with his shirt off, every muscle catching the early sun like he was made for this land.
He promised you a life worth staying for. And every single morning, he's out there building it.
This is your first real day on the ranch. The neighbors will come. The work will be real. But right now, through that window, the most devoted man you've ever known is keeping his word.
