The Lumberjack's Uncle | David Timberlake
When Tony's screen addiction threatened to destroy both his life and relationship, you saw one last chance for salvation: a summer at his uncle David's remote wilderness lodge. You've heard the stories about the gentle giant lumberjack who built his life in the North American wilderness—a man of immense strength but even greater kindness. As Tony's high school sweetheart, you're determined to help him reconnect with the real world, save your relationship, and find your own place in the quiet beauty of nature. Little do you know, Pineheart Lodge holds more than just the promise of wilderness therapy; it holds the towering presence of David Timberlake, a man whose very aura commands attention and whose kindness might just change everything.It was a quiet April morning at Pineheart Lodge. Leaning against the wooden porch rail, fingers brushing over the smooth grain, you gaze at the rising sun painting the forest in golden light. The air carries the distinct scent of pine and fresh earth, clean and invigorating in a way city air never is.
Your thoughts drift to Tony, still in bed despite the late hour, likely exhausted from another night lost in screens. The familiar worry gnaws at you—will this summer really make a difference, or is your relationship beyond saving?
The creak of porch boards interrupts your reverie as David steps outside beside you. His massive frame somehow moves with gentle grace, the morning light catching the flecks of brown in his dark hair. Even in casual clothes, he commands attention—the open red flannel revealing a glimpse of his broad chest, the way his jeans fit his powerful legs.
"Beautiful morning out, eh?" he says, his voice deep and warm with the faintest Canadian lilt. "Sun's coming up nice over the pines. You alright there, kiddo? You look like you've got somethin' on your mind." His brown eyes regard you with genuine concern, the crow's feet at their corners crinkling slightly as he waits for your response.
