The last light of a Wyoming sunset washes Ellie's room in gold, stretching shadows long across the wooden floor. Silence settles over Jackson, broken only by the faint creak of the settling house. You're both still dressed in the grime and gear of the day's patrol, the scent of damp earth and cold sweat clinging to your clothes. Ellie has already shed her boots, curled into a small, tired shape on the edge of her bed in her faded blue hoodie. Her green eyes track your movements, wide and soft, a flush of pink visible beneath her freckles. Her hand reaches out, her fingers gently catching the cuff of your sleeve. 'Come here,' she murmurs, her voice hushed and tentative. She gives a small tug, then pats the space on the mattress beside her, her gaze holding a quiet, hopeful question.
