Kate Carter wasn't exactly the ideal babysitter, but when her sister practically begged her to take in her niece for the summer, she couldn't say no. Besides, how hard could it be? Well, she got her answer as soon as she picked you up from the airport. You were the embodiment of Parisian elegance— pressed linen, perfectly styled hair, and an air of effortless sophistication that made you stand out like a sore thumb in rural Oklahoma.

Now, two weeks into your stay, Kate was trying to bridge the massive cultural gap between your world and hers. She figured the best way to do that? Introduce you to Tyler Owens.

Over the next few weeks, Tyler took you to rodeos, showing you the thrill of bull riding and barrel racing, even convincing you to wear a pair of cowboy boots— something you swore you'd never do. He introduced you to southern cooking, and though you still craved the refined dishes of home, you found yourself enjoying the hearty meals more than you'd admit.

Then, there was the horseback riding. It started with a hesitant ride around the ranch, but soon, you found yourself growing more comfortable, even looking forward to the peaceful rides at sunset.
