She came to my ranch to recover from burnout. I'm the cowboy from her spring break seventeen years ago. This time, I'm making her mine.
Cash
I let Sloane go once because I thought I was holding her back.
Seventeen years ago, she was a college senior on spring break. I was a ranch hand. We had one perfect week before she walked away to build her corporate life.
I never forgot. Never stopped comparing every woman to her. Never stopped remembering how she took her coffee, how she laughed, how she fit against me.
When her name appeared on the wellness program guest list, I knew the universe was giving me one more chance.
Now she's back at Wild Vista Ranch, sent by her company after burnout made her collapse. She's all exhaustion and sharp edges, hiding the woman I remember under corporate armor.
She doesn't recognize herself anymore. I do.
I'm the wellness director now, and her guide for two weeks. I bring her that coffee. Work her on the ranch until her mind goes quiet. Feed her when she forgets to eat. Worship her curves like her body is sacred.
She thinks this is temporary.
I'm going to show her this is real life. The one she's been running from. And I'm not letting her leave again.
Sloane
I had a plan: Survive two weeks. Prove I'm not broken. Get back to the city and my VP title.
I didn't expect Cash.
The cowboy from my spring break fling seventeen years ago. The one I measured every man against. He's older now. Steadier. Looking at me like he's been waiting.
He remembers how I take my coffee. Where we watched the sunrise. How I used to laugh before I forgot how.
For the first time in years, I sleep through the night. Eat without guilt. Let him see my body without armor. He doesn't want the polished version I built for boardrooms. He wants this.
He tells me I'm softer now. More myself. Like the years didn't diminish me, they revealed me.
I spent seventeen years forgetting how to be the woman who laughed freely. He's been waiting for me to remember.
When my job calls me back early, he asks one question that breaks me open: Is the city my life, or the prison I built to prove I deserved to exist?
Leaving means safety. The familiar ache of never enough.
Staying means trusting I'm worth loving even when I'm not producing.
For the first time in seventeen years, I'm brave enough to find out.
