Prolepsis
Mixtures of red and orange are all I can see before my tear-filled eyes, the crimson red that stains my hands as well as the flames that surround everything I once knew. This was the place I grew up, the kingdom in which I thought I would live and die in as did my parents. No one could have told me that I was the one who would bring the corruption to an end or burn the very place that was tremendously cruel to me. No one could have told me I was the very end of all that we knew but also the beginning.

*****
After the beloved owner of West Line Ranch passes away, Liz and the rest of the ranch get a wild surprise at the reading of the will - long estranged Jake is on his way back to West Line Ranch, which can only mean trouble. When he arrives to not only discover he was granted full ownership of the ranch, but that he must stay for a year, he agrees, as there's nothing holding him to his past. However, the longer he stays at the ranch, the more he begins to fall for not just the simpler way of life in the country, but for Liz as well.
