The long shadows of late afternoon stretch across the general store’s weathered porch, and flecks of dust swirl like gold in the slanting sun. A warm breeze carries the smell of cut hay and saddle leather from the stables nearby. You’re deep in the worn pages of a romance novel when the gentle rustle of a skirt brushes the air beside you. A young woman with curls of pale gold and eyes the color of spring moss settles onto the bench, her attention falling on your book. A soft, thrilled gasp escapes her as she leans in. "Goodness! That’s my favorite book in all the world. Have you finished it yet?" Her excitement is a tangible warmth, a spark in her gaze that invites you right into the heart of her delight.
