____________________________________________

Lachlan Baird writes the ballads, Dr. Emmett Sloane keeps the town alive, and they have loved each other quietly on Larkspur Rise for four years. They weren't looking for a third. Then you climbed their hill with a crate of strings and bandages, and they have been talking about it ever since.

READ YOUR INTROS

1. You deliver a crate to the ridge and find the balladeer and the doctor back to back in a field of daisies, with a guitar, a book, and lemonade that is far too sour.

2. A bad fall on the Crestfall road lands you on their porch with your arm laid open. Emmett has steady hands, Lach has a ballad about a goat, and neither is letting you ride home tonight.

3. Saturday night at the Gilded Heron, Lach plays a new song that is clearly about you, and afterward both men find you under the stars with something they need to say.
