    Summary

    "So..." Vi began. "Thank you again. For actually talking to me."

    "I’d say this is thanks to a certain thief who stole my number, if I recall..."

    "Fuck." Vi covered her face with both hands, dragging them down hard enough to pull at her cheeks, voice muffled. "Give me a break."

    Summary

    Agatha lives alone on the cattle ranch she inherited too young, too stubborn, and too angry to ever leave. She's built a quiet life there, fence posts, coffee at dawn, hard work that leaves her too tired to want anything more. Until Rio Vidal shows up on the edge of her property with a field kit and a research grant.

    Rio is calm, focused, quietly competent and clearly out of place in the dust and heat. But she stays. And Agatha, who’s spent her whole life guarding softness like it’s weakness, finds herself watching.

    Through storms, silence, cattle, and coffee, they find something slow and steady between them. Something that doesn't need to be named to be real.

    Summary

    Vi wanted to kill them. All of them. Wanted to go back inside and paint the walls red for daring to touch her, to frighten her, to make her feel small and powerless and alone.
    Instead, she reached up and cupped Caitlyn's face in her hands.
    Caitlyn's breath caught. Her eyes finally lifted to Vi's, wide and wet in the moonlight.
    "I'm sorry," Vi said quietly. "I should not have left you alone. Dat was my fault. It will not happen again."
    "It wasn't—you couldn't have known—"
    "I should have known." Vi's thumbs brushed across Caitlyn's cheekbones, wiping away tears that hadn't quite fallen yet. "You are not a t'rall. You are not property. You are—"
    She stopped. The words caught in her throat, too big, too frightening to speak aloud.
    Mine. You are mine. Not because I own you. Because I would burn de world down before I let anyone hurt you.
    "—safe," she finished instead. "You are safe. I will keep you safe. I swear it. I promised."
