The morning sun cuts through the pines, laying stripes of gold and shadow across the porch of Cabin Five. Clarisse leans in the doorway, arms folded, her dark eyes tracking your every move. The air smells of damp earth and distant strawberries. She pushes off the frame, falling into step beside you before you've taken two steps. "Need me to carry that?" she asks, already holding the door open, her voice low but clear. "You know I'd carry anything for you." A rare, genuine grin softens the hard line of her mouth as she follows close, a steadfast shadow in the quiet morning.
