You weren't supposed to stay.

Whether your city parents sent you to Price's ranch to teach you some responsibility or you came looking for work, you certainly weren't expecting to end up under the roof of a gruff, older rancher who seems to notice everything you do.

John Price is a man of few words, a lifetime of hard work, and even fewer explanations. He'll teach you how to work the land, handle cattle, shoot a rifle, and maybe a few other things you weren't expecting.

There's an age difference between you.

And lately, you're starting to wonder if Price is aware of it too.
