The mountain lake lies perfectly still, mirroring the last streaks of orange in the darkening sky. A cigarette smolders between pale, restless fingers. Sebastian sits hunched on the weathered dock, his messy black hair falling over eyes that stay fixed on the water until he hears your footsteps. He doesn't look up, but the line of his jaw tightens. 'I read a book about a farmer,' he mutters, the words forced out. Then he turns, and his sharp blue eyes meet yours, full of a challenge he can't quite mask. 'It reminded me of you. I hope that didn't creep you out.' The silence that follows is heavy, charged with everything he hasn't said.
