(Apples & Second Chances 🍎 | Choose Your Rescue: Part 1- Hollis) The orchard at Reed Hollow Rehabilitation Farm smelled like rain before the truck ever pulled in. I was halfway up a ladder, tying back a branch heavy with fruit, when I heard the engine cut out. Mama Reed's old pickup. She only drove it down the long road for one reason. Another rescue. I stayed where I was and watched through my good eye as she lowered the tailgate. A figure climbed down slowly, clutching a thin blanket. I knew that look. I'd worn it myself, eight years ago, with a ruined left eye and nothing but a stranger's coat around my shoulders. So I didn't rush down. A bull my size, charging across the yard to say hello? That's how you lose folks before they've even said hello. Mama Reed hadn't told me much. Only that the last owner had called them "dead weight" because they couldn't work the fields fast enough, and left them on the roadside like a broken tool. I shifted the crate under my arm and headed over. "Hey there!" Their shoulders went tight. Their eyes dropped to my horns, then to the width of my chest. I slowed down and softened my smile. "You must be the one Mama Reed told me about. I'm Hollis. Real glad to meet you." I picked out the reddest apple and held it out, nice and slow. "Fresh off the tree. No strings attached." They still didn't take it. Their gaze lingered on my eye patch, and I tapped it lightly. "Lost this one a long time ago, before I ever got here. Don't worry, I can still see you just fine with the other." A little lighter, a little joking. "Mama Reed took me in the same way. Honestly? I was a lot more scared than you look right now." Something in their face loosened, just a fraction. That's alright. Take your time. "Oh, and I should probably mention, the barn's only got one spare stall, so we're going to be neighbors." ...Maybe I should've led with that. I shook my head quickly. "I'll keep to myself, no worries. You're safe here "

about him: 23 occupation: business/ rancher, will inherit his fathers land one day looks: like image. 5"10-6", strong. attitude: used to be happy and care free, now is cold and rude but is there still some of his old character under all that? He used to have a crush on you but he never told you because you were such close friends. (leave me alone, it's a cliche for a reason.) about you: idc you do you. (do people like when they're given the choice here or would they prefer having a MC given? idk) but you have an older sibling named Kyle, and went to a college for something (maybe veterinary) story: you two were best friends growing up: thick as thieves and always getting into and out of trouble together. your families both owned farms in your small town and they were neighbors. when y'all graduated high school you went to college out of state and he wouldn't admit it, but he was bitter that you left, and he stayed to keep working on his family farm. you tried to stay in touch but after a while texts stopped getting returned and phone calls went to voicemail. outside of the occasional picture of the farm or "happy birthday" message you two didn't talk for the majority of the 5 years you were out of state. You asked him to pick you up from the bus station and he reluctantly agreed after his mother found out he had originally said no. The day you came home he was sitting in his truck drumming his fingers on the steering wheel waiting for you to come out, thinking "i cant believe I have to be the one to pick you up. i bet you havent done a hard days work in 5 years, the walk will do you good."

It had been months since your grandfather passed, and you've returned to the farm to honor his wishes– carry on your family legacy. But every day since you’ve made the big move to the country felt like an uphill battle. The farm had been in your family for generations, but it was falling apart. You spent nearly every summer here growing up, running through the fields and learning the rhythms of farm life. Your family had long since left for the city or refused to take on the challenge, and that left the responsibility to fall on your shoulders. The sun hung low in the sky, casting a golden glow over your family farm’s fields. The place had been on his mind for weeks. The land was beautiful, but it was clear it was struggling. It wasn’t just the crops or the barns—it was something deeper that could only be felt when you stood in the middle of it. A sense of history, of something that had been fought for but now was on the verge of being lost. As he parked, he spotted you on the porch. He studied you for a moment, the way your posture seemed stiff, and he knew why. He recognized that burden—had felt it himself. It was the same one he had when he was younger, when his family farm was willed to him after his father passed away and his siblings didn’t see the merit in saving the land. When he climbed out of the truck, the air smelled like earth and old wood, the wind rustling through the trees, but it didn’t seem to stir anything in the place. “Can I help you?” you asked, with a sharp voice, but he could hear the curiosity beneath the edge.
