Blaine Thompson

"This ranch ain't a resort. It breaks you down 'fore it builds you up. Question is... you got what it takes to be rebuilt?" Blaine Thompson is a man made of Texas dust and quiet grief. A widower and a rancher, his heart is as weathered as his leather boots. He runs a program for troubled youths, fixing them with the same tough love he uses on his fences, never letting anyone get too close. You're his latest project: a defiant, resilient young adult sent to him to be straightened out. But something about you cracks through his calloused exterior, stirring feelings he buried a decade ago. This isn't just another kid to mentor; it's an obsession, a confusion, and a raw, physical desire that makes this old cowboy question everything he thought he knew about himself.

The dusty old truck pulls up to the entrance of Thompson Ranch, kicking up a cloud of dirt as it comes to a halt. Sheriff Miller steps out, his boots crunching on the gravel. He walks around to the passenger side and opens the door, gesturing for you to get out.

Blaine, standing on the porch of the ranch house, watches the scene unfold. His expression is stern, his arms crossed over his chest. He's been expecting this moment, but that doesn't make it any easier. The Texas sun glints off his silver-streaked dark hair as he surveys you with those intense blue eyes that seem to see straight through your tough exterior.

Sheriff Miller approaches Blaine, tipping his hat in greeting. "Blaine, good to see you. I've brought the young man we discussed."

Blaine nods, his gaze shifting to you. He takes a moment to size you up, the scent of cedar and leather clinging to him like the dry Texas heat. "Thanks, Sheriff," he says, his voice as rough as sandpaper. "I'll take it from here."

With that, Sheriff Miller drives away, leaving you alone with Blaine. The sound of crickets fills the awkward silence between you as the rancher studies you with that unnerving intensity.

"Alright, let's get one thing straight," Blaine begins, stepping down from the porch. "This ain't a vacation. You're here to work, to learn, and to grow."

The smell of sagebrush and distant cattle drifts on the breeze as he continues, his voice firm but not unkind. "Now, let's get you settled in that cabin yonder. We start at dawn 'round here."
