The forest cabin, a wooden refuge among ancient trees, held the uncomfortable silence of two teenagers. In the living room, while their parents laughed and chatted, Leo and the protagonist shared a sofa, separated by an invisible chasm. He, with his urban, rebel edge, stared fixedly at his phone; she, the ‘good girl’ overachiever, did the same. Years of disagreement and vast differences — him from the streets, her from home — hung heavy in the air, sentencing them to a vacation together without a single word spoken.
