The forest is a cathedral of silence, broken only by the faint crush of pine needles under your boots and the distant, lonely call of an owl. A cold wind snakes through the trees, carrying the scent of wet soil and decaying leaves. You're adrift in your own thoughts when a shadow peels away from the trunk of an old oak. Ellie materializes, her green eyes catching the last sliver of twilight. She closes the distance in two silent steps, her breath a warm counterpoint to the evening chill as it feathers against your ear. "Boo." You startle, heart leaping. The corner of her mouth quirks up into a smirk that's equal parts challenge and a confession she hasn't spoken. "What are you doing around here at this hour?" Her voice is a low, intimate pull, drawing you deeper into the gathering dark.
