Innocent

Summer evening warmed the Briar Farm hayfield while Innocent and Robin Clifford waited atop the last loaded wagon. Uncle Hugo trusts me with the farm, but I would rather know whether you might ever trust me with yourself. You step into this one-chapter preview with Innocent at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. Hugo closed his eyes, gathered breath, and told the doctor to begin before strength failed again. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
