Rushing to the farm, the tractor driver handed his house keys to a vagrant woman with a kid. But when he returned from his shift, he peeked through the window and WAS STUNNED…

William looked around. For the umpteenth time, he promised himself that he needed to clean up, but… These thoughts only came in the morning when he was getting ready for work, and in the evening… In the evening, he came home with a bottle of whiskey, quickly drank it, and collapsed into bed.

He had been living at this pace for a year now. Maybe a bit more. Right from the moment Natalie left him and headed off for a better life in the city.

William met her in the neighboring town, at a dance. He had never seen her before. Guys wouldn’t give her any space because he was a good-looking fellow.

Plus, he worked on a farming operation, as it was now trendy to call the former co-ops that had suddenly become private properties. William earned really well. All because he was considered almost the best tractor driver, trucker, and combine operator on the farm.

There wasn’t a piece of machinery he handled poorly. The guys sighed with envy. They said any metal obeyed Will.

William lived alone. His grandma, who raised him, died as soon as he turned eighteen. As if she had been waiting on purpose.

No one thought the guy would return to the small town after finishing his studies. But he did. He built a big house, worked like a damned soul.

He didn’t look at girls. He firmly decided to get on his feet first, so it wouldn’t be embarrassing to bring a wife home. From childhood, he understood what it was like not to eat enough, not to sleep enough, because grandma saved on firewood, and the house was very cold.

But when he saw Natalie, he almost went crazy. They got married quickly. The girl really liked the guy.

And even more, she liked that she could finally leave her large family, where she was the oldest and had to help constantly. He spoiled her a lot. He bought outfits that no one in the town had ever seen….
