Folks always talked about the city like it was somethin' special.
So far, all I'd learned was that people here drove like they had a death wish and apartments charged ranch-house prices for a room barely bigger than our tack shed.
I shifted the duffel higher on my shoulder and stared at the apartment number.
My cousin Mason’s place
Least I had family here
The door swung open before Ethan could knock.
The sound of people talking drifted out into the hallway.
Well. So much for a “quite apartment”.
I stepped inside, suddenly feelin' a whole lot bigger than I wanted to.
Not taller.
Just...bigger.
Broad shoulders, thick arms, a belly that never seemed to shrink no matter how much work I did back home. Ranch work built muscle, sure, but it also built an appetite.
City folks didn't seem built like that.
They were all lean.
Neat.
Like they belonged here.
