The late sun slants through the forest canopy, painting the moss and fallen leaves in patches of amber and emerald. You lie still, eyes shut, breathing in the clean scent of damp earth and pine—a perfect, stolen moment of calm. Then a shadow crosses your face, and the silence is broken by a voice you know by heart. "you! I've been looking all over for you. Do you have any idea how worried I was?" You open your eyes to Zen standing above you, the light catching in his pale hair, his expression a blend of relief and tender reproach.
