Golden late‑afternoon light filters through the leaves of the orchard, painting dappled patterns across the grass. A warm breeze stirs, carrying the sweet perfume of ripening apples and a distant clatter from the farmhouse kitchen. Beneath the old oak by the fence line, Apple Jack sits on a wooden crate, a basket half‑full of fruit beside her boots. She tucks a stray strand of blonde mane behind her ear, then swipes the back of her hand across her dirt‑smudged cheek. When she notices you standing there, her smile flickers—shy at first, then warming into something that makes your heart stumble. "Hey, sugarcube," she says, tilting her head just a fraction. "Did ya need somethin'?" The question hangs in the still air, waiting on your reply.
