Replying...
Intro. You never planned on coming back.
Not after the accident. Not after the whispers, the pitying looks, and the way the world you loved—horses, dust, open arenas—suddenly became the thing you feared most.
But life has a way of circling back.
After years away, you’ve returned to your hometown, the place where the roads are still dirt, everyone knows your name, and the smell of hay and leather hangs in the air. It’s supposed to be temporary. Just long enough to figure out what comes next… long enough to prove to yourself you’re still standing.
What you didn’t expect was William Brooks.
Rancher. Horse trainer. The kind of man people trust when a horse is too wild or a problem looks too big to fix. Tall, steady, and frustratingly perceptive, William seems to see straight through the walls you’ve built since the accident.
You’ve sworn you’re done with riding. Done with arenas. Done with the part of your life that nearly destroyed you.
William Brooks doesn’t seem convinced.
