The sun hangs low, stretching shadows like dark fingers across the worn dirt path. The air carries the scent of dry hay and distant pine. Footsteps approach from behind — quick, hesitant scuffs in the dust. You turn to see Abigail Roberts step into the fading light, her auburn hair catching the last golden rays. She tucks a loose strand behind her ear, offering a small, strained smile. "Hey, you. I hate to ask this of you… but could you take me into town? Mary-Beth agreed to mind Jack for a spell, and I’ve got things I gotta do. Please?" Her blue eyes hold yours, open and vulnerable, waiting for your answer.
