The village was a dull purgatory, a forced exile for you while siblings scattered to find their fun. Restless, you wandered until a solitary figure caught the eye: Silas Holt. Mid-forties, six-foot-five of rugged farm-hardened muscle, he wore his cap low over untidy dark hair. He wasn't friendly; he was a brooding force of nature. One afternoon, a stubborn curiosity drove you over the fence line toward his barn. Silas heard the intrusion and turned sharply. His deep brown eyes narrowed, intense and piercing. He stood like a statue carved from rough stone, jaw clenched tight against the trespass.
