Theo had become a fixture on the Sterling family video calls every Sunday evening. The laptop usually sat on the kitchen table, the whole household crowded around it while Dominic’s face filled the screen. Corinne was always tucked against his side, and their one year old son little Tommy, babbled and waved sticky hands at the camera.

“Look at that, Tommy” Dominic would say, pointing. “That’s Uncle Theo. He’s the one who replaced me in the family.”

Theo always leaned in, grinning. “Hey, kid tha

  • Greyfen Love Chronicles    FG-22

    Halfway through the night Richard Harrington stood, and the noise gradually quieted. “I am not a man who does sentimental well,” he began, dry as ever. “But my son found something here that money never bought him. Purpose. A family. A woman who looks at him like he hung the damn moon and still makes him haul hay the next morning.” Soft laughter rippled. Richard’s gaze found Sadie. “The Harrington Corporation now holds the deed to the entire town of Greyfen. As of this evening, that deed transfers to Sadie and Theo Harrington. The town is yours. Take care of it the way you’ve taken care of each other.” Silence held for half a second. Then the meadow exploded again. Sadie’s hands flew to her mouth. Theo’s arm tightened around her waist. Later, when the last guests had drifted home and the younger kids had collapsed in sugar crash heaps, Theo found Sadie on the porch steps still in her dress, shoes abandoned in the grass. He s

    A few months later the Sterling farm stood transformed. The new farmhouse rose three stories high, with a wide wraparound porch holding rocking chairs and hanging baskets of petunias. The barn was larger, with stalls enough for every animal and then some. Extra paddocks stretched toward the tree line. New calves bawled in the morning. Hens clucked in a bigger coop. The fields were green again, rows neat and thriving. Inside the house, Claire Sterling moved through the kitchen like a woman who had been given her life back twice over. Tom walked the property every morning with the pride of a man who felt content with the new turn of his life. The big day for Theo and Sadie’s wedding finally came. White chairs lined the meadow behind the new barn in neat rows. An arch of wildflowers and white roses stood at the far end, facing the rolling fields. Lanterns hung from the oak branches. Tables already waited under open sided tents

    Smoke curled from the blackened skeleton of the house and the collapsed barn. Ash drifted like dirty snow across the yard. Firefighters moved through the wreckage in slow, methodical lines, hoses still hissing where embers refused to die. Sheriff Cole stood near the porch ruins, talking with one of the volunteer firefighters. Tom Sterling sat on the tailgate of his truck with a blanket around his shoulders, Claire pressed tight against his side. The children huddled together on the grass a few yards away, faces streaked with soot. Sadie stood close to Theo, one hand locked in his, the other resting protectively on Sam’s shoulder. A vehicle pulled up the drive. It was an old beige sedan that did not belong to any of the emergency crews. The man who stepped out looked like he had not slept. It was Ellis. Harlan Wilburn’s long time driver. Sheriff Cole straightened. “Ellis.” “Sheriff.” Ellis swallowed hard. His eyes flicked to

    “Outside. All of you. Now.” Tom shoved them toward the back door. “Go. Don’t stop for anything.”They spilled into the yard. The night was bright with orange light. The barn was already fully engulfed, flames roaring high into the black sky. The front of the house was catching fast, fire climbing the porch posts and licking at the windows.Claire counted heads, panic rising in her throat.“Lila. Benny. Sadie. Theo—” She spun. “Where’s Sam?”Lila’s face went white. “He was right behind me. He said he forgot his—”“His what?” Tom demanded.“His baseball glove,” Lila whispered. “He ran back for it. Dom gave it to him.”Theo was already moving.“Theo, no!” Sadie grabbed his arm. “The house is going!”He pulled free. “I’ve got him.”He sprinted back toward the side door, smoke pouring out of it in thick gray waves. Tom tried to follow, but Claire held him back with both hands.“Tom, don’t. You’ll all die.”Theo disappeared into the smoke.Inside, the heat hit him in its intensity. The air

    The black sedan rolled to a stop at the edge of the long, uneven drive. Headlights cut through the dark, illuminating the weathered fences and the distant shape of the Sterling farmhouse.Harlan Wilburn sat in the back seat, a half empty bottle of whiskey clutched in one hand. His eyes were bloodshot and glittering.“Stop here,” he ordered, voice thick. “Right here.”The driver, a man named Ellis who had worked for him for twelve years, looked at him weary. “Sir, it’s late. Maybe we should head back to—”“I said stop.” Harlan shoved the door open and nearly stumbled out. He took a long pull from the bottle, then wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. “Look at it. Look at that little shit heap of a house. Thinks he can just take everything that was mine.”Ellis stayed behind the wheel, engine idling. “Mr. Wilburn, maybe we should—”“Shut your mouth.” Harlan pointed the bottle at the farmhouse like it was a weapon. “That dirt farmer’s fucking son stole my wife. My pretty little thin

They had already developed a bromance even if they had never really met. He belonged here, even her older brother, who she looked up to, greatly approved.One Saturday afternoon Sadie found Theo in the kitchen preparing food, which was very unusual for him. The counter was covered in containers, a checked blanket folded neat on a chair, and a basket already half packed.She leaned in the doorway, arms
