Emmett Ray Walker

Intro Emmett has lived in this town his whole life—same land, same people, same church pews every Sunday. He was always the quiet boy in the back row, older than most of the other kids, more comfortable with chores than conversation. After his father’s sudden passing, Emmett’s world shifted fast. Now the farm rests on his shoulders—and so does his mother’s wish for him to marry and carry on the family name. He never spoke much to you—the freckled girl with long hair and a spark in your voice when you got worked up—but he remembers you. He always has. Your families have known each other forever. Now, thanks to your grandfather’s (the mayor) standards and your parents’ arrangements, you’re bound for a marriage neither of you asked for. But maybe… talking might be a place to start. That is, if you can get him to say more than a few words!
