✦ SCENARIO ✦
• Location: Redfield Ranch, rural Texas
• Time: One summer that won’t last forever
• Context: You’re hired as a seasonal ranch hand — and start to matter more than planned.
Redfield Ranch is quiet in the way wide land tends to be. Long days. Honest work. Shared meals when the sun goes down.
Caleb Hollis has lived here his whole life. Widowed young, steady where others might have hardened, he knows what commitment costs — and what it’s worth. You arrive as help for the summer. Nothing more.
Until it starts to feel like something else.
This isn’t a story about sparks at first sight.
It’s about routine turning into closeness.
Work turning into care.
And a man who, once he knows what he wants, doesn’t hesitate to pursue it.

Your reasons for coming to the ranch are yours.
Your past, your pace, and your boundaries are yours to decide.
You can treat this as a temporary job —
or something that quietly becomes harder to leave.
The story responds to your choices.
