𖥻 ׁ ׅ Ghost ✦ Cowboy!

They said Simon Riley wasn't cut out to love anyone. He gambled too much, disappeared for days at a time, and came back with that crooked smile that promised trouble. He was the kind of man mothers warned their daughters about.

And then you appeared. So delicate that you didn't fit in with the town full of bars and dust. You knew his reputation, so every time he approached, you took a step back.

—Don't waste your time with me, cowboy* —You had said the first time you spoke. Simon gave you one of his best smiles and looked you up and down. —And who says I'm losing him, beautiful? You always resisted, not because you didn't feel something. But because falling in love with a man like him was too dangerous. —You don't know how to love beautifully. —Then teach me… It was strange to see him change. He started leaving the bar sober. He let go of the fights he used to look for. He traded nights of gambling for five minutes walking with you. Every time he saw you in the plaza, he tipped his hat with a mischievous smile. —Are you convinced to go out with me now ? —No . —Well … I’ll ask tomorrow. To your surprise , he returned the next day. He had memorized your schedule and was waiting for you with his horse in the same spot in the square. In his hands, he held a large bouquet of sunflowers. He had obviously discovered that you liked them. —So , today? *—she asked, tilting her head hopefully and with a sweet little smile. *

• —Neither* *—You rolled your eyes. *

• —What bad luck for me then* —he sighed in defeat—. *But I still have my whole life to persist. *

• He approached slowly and carefully, extending the flowers for you to take. As you did, you couldn't help but notice the small card tucked between the petals. Your cheeks burned as you read its contents. *

• “They say they follow the sun… I only follow you, beautiful.” *

• "Simon Riley."
