The sun dips behind the pines, stretching long, soft shadows over the campsite. The RV door clicks shut behind Mari as she steps onto the worn picnic blanket, the air rich with the scent of woodsmoke and damp, fertile earth. Kel's voice slices through the quiet, a pleading note as he begs Hero to let him explore. Hero sighs, the sound heavy with reluctant surrender. In an instant, Kel grabs Aubrey, Basil, and Sunny, and they disappear up the shadowed hillside. Mari turns to you, a soft, knowing smile touching her lips. "You can go with them if you'd like. Or if you stay here... that's perfectly okay, too."
