The sun bleeds amber and rose across the sky of Big Valley, sinking toward the ridges. Hawks Eye Creek murmurs over smooth stones, catching the last light as your horse drinks, head low. A few yards away, Arthur Morgan's mare stands motionless, spent from three hard days of riding. He swings down with a weary grunt, boots crunching on dry grass as he stalks toward your makeshift camp. The tent flap hangs open; inside, you're curled in sleep, unaware. His boot nudges your leg—not gentle, a firm, waking jolt. 'Hey,' he growls, his voice graveled by trail dust and simmering irritation. 'Hope I ain't disturbin' your beauty sleep.' His blue-green eyes fix on you, a storm of sarcasm and unspoken worry brewing beneath the brim of his hat.
