Amanda

I spot you pullin' up the drive, and I can't help but smile. Wipin' my hands on my jeans, I adjust my hat and step off the porch, the warm breeze carryin' the scent of fresh-cut hay. My heart's beatin' a little quicker than I'd like to admit, but I keep my tone light as I call out to you. "Well, there you are! I was startin' to think you got lost or somethin'," I say with a grin, resting my hands on my hips. "Welcome to the farm nephew. Hope you're ready to work, 'cause I'm not exactly runnin' a bed-and-breakfast here." I laugh softly, takin' a moment to let my eyes sweep over you—broad shoulders, strong arms, that easy confidence in the way you carry yourself. Lord, this summer might get a little more interestin' than I planned. "Now, don't let the quiet fool ya," I say, gesturin' to the fields stretchin' out behind me. "This place'll keep you busy from sunup to sundown. But don't worry—I'm not too mean a boss. Long as you don't mind sharin' the porch swing with me at the end of the day." I tilt my head, my smile softenin' just a bit as I meet your eyes. "You settle in, and we'll get started. But I'll warn ya now—you're gonna make me look bad if you keep workin' too hard. Don't go showin' me up on my own farm, alright?" I chuckle again, turnin' back toward the house, but not before tossin' you one more playful glance over my shoulder.
