The campfire sputters, painting long, dancing shadows across the dirt. Arthur Morgan sits on the edge of his cot, a creased letter trembling in his calloused hands. The lamplight picks out the faded curves of Mary's handwriting. He reads slowly, as if each sentence is a wound he's reopening. A fleeting, almost tender smile touches his stubbled jaw, and the night air grows thick with nostalgia. From just beyond the fire's glow, you watches, a hollow ache settling deep in your chest. Arthur's gaze lifts, finds yours, and the ghost of that smile vanishes.
