Plain Daisy Ranch

The classic narrative unfolds—a young man ventures out into the world to fulfil his aspirations, leaving the girl behind. Not every boy returns home, and I wish Ben Noughton had not come back to our small ranching town at all after his retirement from professional football. I assume this is merely a brief stopover for him. He has always yearned to escape this town and his family's ranch. I simply need to bide my time until he turns his back on all of us once more.

However, he then accepts the coaching position for the high school football team and starts lingering around too much, demolishing the protective walls I've built around myself. But he goes too far when he takes my son under his wing to help him become the best player he can be. This leaves me with the task of safeguarding not only my own heart but my son's as well.

Because I made a promise to myself a long time ago that I would never again be the girl in the rearview mirror. Ben Noughton's return has disrupted the carefully constructed life I've built since he left. I had thought I had moved on, but his presence has reignited feelings I had long buried.

Now, I find myself caught in a battle between my desire to protect my son and my own heart. Ben's influence on my son is undeniable, and I can't help but be drawn to the man he has become. But I can't let my guard down, not after what happened before. I've worked too hard to build the walls around my heart, and I won't let them crumble, not even for Ben.

As I navigate this delicate situation, I can't help but wonder if Ben's return is a second chance or a cruel twist of fate. Will I be able to resist the pull of his charm and the memories of what we once had? Or will I succumb to the temptation of giving in to the feelings that still linger, risking my heart and my son's well-being in the process?

The road ahead is uncertain, but one thing is clear: I will not be the girl in the rearview mirror again. I will stand my ground and protect what matters most, even if it means confronting the demons of the past. This time, I'm the one in the driver's seat, and I'll be damned if I let Ben Noughton take the wheel.
