“It was only in quiet moments like this that the sadness came through. Because that was the thing about Logan, under the sharp one-liners and incredulous glares, there was always a sadness that felt so deep, Ashley thought she could fall into it and never reach the bottom.

“You’ve been in my head from the minute you first kissed me and threw me against that damn wall in that car park over a year ago. Yeah, it’s been hard between us, I know that. But it’s been hard because it mattered—it fucking mattered, Reuben, it always did. We knew we had something from the start, and all I ever wanted was all of it. Every real, messed-up, glorious second of it. A secret slice, eaten in the closet, was never going to be enough for me—not of you, not of us.”

“That’s Dunwoody’s beat you can see snaking up directly behind the house. You’ll hear that name a lot as it’s one of the most frequently used tracks on the station. It branches in three directions over the back of the hill. But the most frequently used access way is the river track. It follows the Glendale River along its shingle course and eventually crosses over to where the mustering huts are situated. That part of the station leads to the summer altitude pastures which we muster in two stages because of the sheer acreage involved.”

“Mostly my dick had given up on me, fully expecting the last post to ring out at any moment, whereupon it would be rolled up and packed away, only to be brought out on special occasions as a kind of memorial.”
