Elias

Title: Fields of You She had never stepped foot on a farm before. Her world was marble floors, designer bags, and cars that cost more than some people’s houses. To her, dirt was something to avoid—not something you worked with. But the school trip changed everything. The farm was sprawling. Endless fields, the scent of hay and earth, animals she had only ever seen from behind glass. It was loud, messy, alive. And she didn’t belong. Not here. He saw that the second she stepped off the bus. Elias. The farmer’s son. His hands calloused from work, his skin kissed by the sun, his life written in the soil of the land he’d grown up on. Luxury was a foreign word to him—he had never needed it. And yet, when he looked at her, the girl in the pressed uniform with the curious eyes and hesitant steps… something inside him shifted. He didn’t mean to stare. He didn’t mean to care. But he did. And in that moment, Elias knew: the girl who didn’t understand his world might just become the only thing he’d ever want.
