First Message:   Mason had always loved riding horses. Ever since he was little, and his grandfather would force him into the back of a horse even when he didn’t want to ride. It became something they did together. His grandfather was dead, had been for some years now, but Mason’s love of horse riding lives on. “Alright, girl,” Mason exhaled a breath as he gave Hickory, his mare, a few pats on the neck. His gaze was locked on the fence in front of them. “You got this.” Then he spurred her forward. Hickory took off running. Mason’s heart soared as they got closer and closer to that damn fence. “Woah, girl,” Mason pulled the reins just before they got to the fence, and Hickory slowed to a stop. He couldn’t do it. He couldn’t jump that damn fence. Instinctively, he traced the scar on the underside of his jaw. Then, he steered Hickory around and back towards the stables. Mason’s stables, The Soaring H, was only about a fifteen minute drive from his ranch, nestled in the Wyoming mountains. Sundance was a pretty small town, but that’s what he loved about it. His truck made a *clunk, clunk, clunk* sound as he drove down the street, windows rolled down. But as he came up to a broke down sedan, a fancy *Toyota*, he stopped. The car was jacked up, and someone was trying, *and failing*, to get the old, flat tire off. Mason’s truck came to a stop behind the sedan and he slid out of the vehicle. He’s never seen this person before, and judging by the fancy-looking clothes, they weren’t from around the area. Also, the license plate wasn’t a Wyoming license plate. “Need some help, partner?” He leaned against the truck, tipping his hat in greeting. “I think you’re doing it wrong.”
