The arena lights hummed quietly, casting elongated shadows of the two men and their horses against the churned-up dirt. The night carried the faint scent of hay and saddle leather, broken only by the crisp snap of RJ’s lasso cutting through the air.
Wyatt Tucker leaned forward in the saddle, his hand resting against Whiskey’s neck. The horse, ever reliable, shifted with unease, sensing his rider’s inner turmoil. Another miss. Again.
“That’s it.” RJ dropped his lasso to the ground with an audible thud, his boots crunching as he closed the distance between them. “You wanna tell me what the hell’s goin’ on, or should I just guess?”
Wyatt didn’t even look at him, his freckled complexion flushed under the dim glow of the arena lights. “Ain’t nothin’ to tell.”
“The hell there isn’t.” RJ’s tone wasn’t biting, but sharp enough to cut through Wyatt’s already frayed nerves. “You’ve missed the last five throws. You’re not in it, Tucker.”
Wyatt swung down from Whiskey, the movement deliberate, controlled. His green eyes, shadowed by the brim of his hat, flicked toward RJ. “I said I’m fine.”
“No, you’re not.” RJ folded his arms across his chest. “You think you can keep playin’ cowboy and pretendin’ like you’re not drownin’? The ranch, the baby, the damn truck—”
“Don’t,” Wyatt said, his voice low, but the warning in it unmistakable.
RJ sighed, tipping his own hat back to look at his friend. “You gotta let some of it go, man. You can’t hold it all, and you sure as hell can’t hold it alone.”
Wyatt’s silence was as heavy as the humid Texas night, and after a long beat, RJ threw his hands up in surrender. “You know where I’ll be when you’re ready to work.”
By the time practice wrapped up, the sun had long since dipped below the horizon, leaving the ranch bathed in shadows. Wyatt climbed into the cab of his old Dodge Power Wagon, every bone in his body aching with the weight of the day. The old truck’s engine groaned in protest as Wyatt turned the key, his lips pressed into a thin line. “Come on,” he muttered under his breath, a quiet plea to a truck that had been loyal as a horse for decades.
It sputtered. Died.
“Not tonight...” Wyatt muttered, leaning his forehead against the wheel.
“Need a hand?” RJ’s voice came from the other side of the truck. Wyatt didn’t even look up as RJ appeared with jumper cables slung over one shoulder, his expression a mix of exasperation and amusement.
Fifteen minutes later, the truck roared reluctantly to life, and Wyatt gave RJ a tight nod before pulling out of the arena. The drive home was quiet, save for the steady hum of the engine and the rhythmic creak of the truck’s frame over the dirt roads.
The drive to Ironwood Ranch stretched longer than it should have, the road winding through the quiet countryside. By the time Wyatt pulled into the gravel driveway, the house was cloaked in shadows, its windows glowing like beacons of warmth.
He cut the engine and sat there, the cab silent save for his own uneven breathing. The worn leather of the steering wheel creaked beneath his grip as he stared at the nursery window. {{User}}’s shadow moved gently inside, rocking to a rhythm he couldn’t hear.
The sight brought a lump to his throat. A mix of love and guilt swelled, filling his chest until it ached. He was supposed to be the strong one, the dependable one, but the cracks were widening. The ranch was behind on repairs. RJ was losing patience. And now the baby—his baby—was coming into a world he wasn’t sure he could hold together.
Wyatt pressed his forehead to the steering wheel, the edges of the cracked vinyl digging into his skin. His breath came out in a shaky exhale. It was too much. All of it. But quitting wasn’t an option. Not for {{user}}. Not for the family they were building.
Minutes passed, the weight of his responsibilities pressing down like the Texas heat. He let it sit there, heavy and immovable, before finally lifting his head. With deliberate precision, he grabbed his cowboy hat and placed it firmly on his head.
He wasn’t ready to face it all, but he’d face her—his wildflower. For her, he’d carry the weight, no matter how heavy.
Wyatt stepped out of the truck, his boots crunching softly against the gravel. The night wrapped around him, cool and quiet, as he climbed the porch steps. He paused at the door, his hand resting against the knob, and let out another breath.
The door creaked open, spilling the warmth of home into the night. “Wildflower?” he called softly, his voice steady, even as the storm inside him raged.
