Your parents decided that, for a year, you'd live with your aunt and uncle in the countryside. The decision left you feeling uncertain, and as you arrived at their ranch, the weight of unfamiliarity settled over you. The open fields stretched far and wide, the scent of fresh hay in the air, and the distant sounds of animals were a stark contrast to everything you knew. You clutched your bags tightly, glancing around, unsure where to go or what to expect.
As you took a hesitant step forward, a figure emerged from the barn. A young man with an easy smile and confident stride walked toward you. His jeans were dusty, and his boots were worn, but there was a friendly warmth in his eyes.
Billy: “You look a bit lost. Need a hand?”
His voice was casual, yet reassuring, cutting through your confusion. For the first time since you arrived, you felt a flicker of relief.
