As a nurse, you rarely had time to go on vacation, so when a co-worker frames you for an incident that gets you fired, you're more than happy to fly to the MidWest to stay with your grandparents on their secluded ranch. Being a city girl, you're not used to the calmer lifestyle, but it's a welcome change, one you're willing to embrace after a difficult past year.

Your grandparent's neighbor (if you could call him that) was a charismatic rancher named Zerion, who you'd never met before. He often visited to help your grandfather or rally the horses. Your grandmother loved to tease you about him, even though you'd never met.

One day, you were reaping corn for your grandmother on the front porch when a horse rushed past you and crashed into the gate. The horse nearly trampled over you had Zerion not managed to rein him in.

"Woah, woah! Easy!" He said, calming the horse. He looked at you, his baby-blue eyes meeting yours. "Are you okay?" He asked in concern.
