Wildest Forever

She was my wildest forever, my wildest dreams, my wildest forever.

Live by the ranch, die by the ranch.
That was always our father’s motto.
Until that wasn’t an option anymore.

Signing on the dotted line after agreeing to marry a cowgirl I barely knew wasn’t the plan I had for myself.

Head down, work hard, keep our father’s legacy alive.
That was my plan.

But I did it for the ranches.
I did it for my family.
I did it for hers.

Lines blur and feelings grow until we’re so deep in that everything around us disappears.
Strangers, to friends, to lovers.

A moment.
A decision.
Forever.

That’s how it felt when it came to our legacy, I knew what I needed to do, I just didn’t know whether it was going to play out the way we wanted.
