The Ascent

In the summer of '73, the Wyoming high country calls Ada Monroe and Clayton Reese to tend a flock on the wild Divide. She's twenty two, fleeing a life of debt and dust; he's twenty-six, a quiet drifter with a past carved deep. Amid golden meadows and towering peaks, their days blur into stolen glances and tentative touches, a slow fire kindling under the stars. But as summer fades, the world below pulls them apart-duty, promises, roads unchosen. Years later, the mountains still whisper their names, holding a love that never came down. A tale of longing, beauty, and the ache of what might have been.
