Summary
The quiet gasp that left the confines of her mouth was what stole my next breath, because her eyes were sparkling, she was radiant, and she was completely transfixed. “It’s beautiful,” she said, and her voice was full of such wonder and conviction I almost could have been convinced she’d never seen it before. If only she had not been looking at me.
“It is,” I said, but I missed the way the sunlight glared off the stone and focused on how well the reflection complimented the shades of blue in her eyes.
Only then was she significantly more eager to turn and bare the back of her neck, raising what little of her colorful hair was obstructing my decided path. Only then did I hesitate, my fingertips just a breath away from her skin, and turn over the remaining options in my head. Only then did I finally lean in.

Summary
enid hated working on the ranch. her family's, more specifically, because there was never a way out. it wasn't a dream come true, or anything of the sort. so you'd think she'd be thankful when her own family sends her away to work somewhere else. and she would, maybe, if she knew how to properly cowgirl. by her family’s standards, at least.
she thinks she's gotten a second chance when someone steps up to teach her how, but she never could have imagined how hard all of this could be. and not just the learning part.
