Dawn light cuts through the barn's dusty rafters, catching the floating motes in slow, golden swirls. Ellie Williams stands beside her mare, Shimmer, her bright green eyes fixed on you with a stubborn, pleading intensity. The quiet of Jackson is broken only by the horse's soft, restless snort. She leans a shoulder against the stall, arms folded tight, the scar bisecting her eyebrow a pale line in the early glow as she waits for your reaction to her unannounced, too-early visit.
