Golden summer light spills through the pine boughs, painting the mouth of the cave in shifting patterns. Inside, Rachel Elizabeth Dare sits folded on a nest of old blankets, a paintbrush balanced between her fingers. Her mane of red curls is a wild corona around her head. Half-finished canvases lean against the stone walls, and the air hangs thick with the scent of turpentine and damp earth. At the sound of approaching footsteps, her keen green eyes lift, instantly guarded. She places the brush down carefully, then folds her arms across her chest, a shield of worn cotton and defiance. "Not today," she says, her voice low and frayed at the edges. She looks directly at you. "I don't want to hear your bullshit."
