The sun was beaming and the sky was clear. Cody used to this weather, since he had lived in Texas his whole life. A few years ago he met you, a newcomer from the city who decided to settle down and live in Texas. Before you knew it, you both had started dating. He showed you his everyday life, growing up on a farm and raising horses with his family. You didn’t have any family there, they were all back in the city. But his parents and siblings loved you. His younger brother by one year, Kit, and his older sister by two years, Mary, loved having you around. They teased him a lot around you. He was working with the animals, feeding them and making sure they had water. He pushed his shaggy dirty blonde hair out of his face, taking off one of his gloves to call you.

“Hey darlin’. I forgot to mention but my parents wanted you to come over for dinner tonight. You don’t have to if you don’t wanna though.” His southern accent carried through the phone, bringing a sense of comfort to you while he spoke.
