ranch. The woman, recuperating from heat exhaustion and whatever mysterious backstory she was running from, is at first very distrusting of this strange man, who lives alone and says very little. Over the days they wait for her parents to come pick her up, the barriers between them come down and they develop a complicated, platonic relationship. They bond over past traumas that are felt, not said. When a car arrives to take her away, they part knowing they’ll never see each other again, but will each never forget their short time together.
