Beneath a Restless Sky

I wasn’t planning on staying. Not here. Not anywhere. Until her.

I learned early that settling down just makes it hurt more when the ground gives way. So I came west chasing gold in a mountain that doesn’t care whether I live or die.

Then I meet her.

Maggie Dawson runs the general store in Pioneer Falls, supplying a mining town barely hanging on.

One look from her, and the noise in my head goes quiet.

She sees the scars I don’t talk about, knows I’m a miner with more past than future. She doesn’t ask where I come from or how long I plan to stay.
