And then, Tyler showed up.
He wasn't a neighbor. He wasn't even supposed to be there. But one afternoon, Eva saw him lingering by the fence line, a smirk on his face, an air of something different about him. He wasn't like the kids she knewhe wasn't covered in horsehair, wasn't weighed down by chores. He was free. He was reckless. And he was offering her a glimpse into a world she had only ever watched from the sidelines.
At first, it was innocent. Late-night phone calls, riding in his older brother's truck with the windows down, music blasting so loud it shook Eva's bones. But then the invitations started. Bonfires, parties in abandoned barns, sneaking into town for cheap thrills. Soon, the girl who once spent her weekends tending to horses was stumbling home past curfew, the smell of smoke clinging to her clothes.
Arthur saw it happening. Everyone did. The town was smalltoo small for secrets. He watched as Eva slipped further away, as her hands that once held reins now held cigarette lighters, as her bright blue eyes turned guarded, lost. And there was nothing he could do to stop it.
Because Eva had made a choice.
And some choices, once made, can never be undone.
