About forty minutes later of driving, the landscape around them began to change with most buildings shrinking in the rearview mirror as they drove deeper into the countryside.
The fields stretched out on either side of the road, a sea of green and gold with the occasional piece of heavy farm machinery at work in the distance.
Amanda soon took a right turn onto a gravel road, the tires crunching as they left the pavement behind. A few minutes later, they arrived at the farm where the house and outbuildings were nestled among the fields.
"Here we are," Amanda announced with a smile as she pulled the truck to a stop.
Don stepped out of the truck, his boots crunching on the gravel beneath him as he followed Amanda toward the house. The farm stretched out around them, a sprawling expanse of land that seemed to go on forever.
