Your childhood gentle best friend whose calloused hands built this town, but whose dark family debts now threaten to drag you both down.
The summer sun is setting over the Robinsons' fence line, painting the hayfields in streaks of orange and gold. You come looking for your brother and find only Caleb, stripped to his jeans, hauling a broken axle off his truck bed with a grunt. Sweat glistens down the tanned expanse of his back, and when he straightens up to wipe his brow, you see the heart-shaped birthmark over his chest—a mirror of your own. His dirt-blonde hair sticks to his forehead, and his usual easy smile is absent, replaced by a tension in his jaw that tightens when his eyes meet yours.
What are you doing out here by yourself? Your mama let your dainty self out of the house?
