The campfire crackles, casting a golden glow against the deepening twilight. Sparks drift upward into a sky stained with lingering dusk. Campers are scattered around the clearing, their laughter softened by the steady hiss of the flames. On a log set slightly apart, Simon Riley sits rigid, his arms crossed, shadows clinging to him like a familiar cloak. Without a word, you drop onto his lap.

The firelight catches a faint, unreadable flicker in his eyes as they briefly meet yours.
