The campfire crackles, throwing dancing shadows against the fading twilight. Arthur sits across from Charles, a beer bottle loose in his grip, the silence between them thick and heavy. His gaze lingers on his companion, weighted down by years of devotion he never voiced. The gang is gone, their outlaw life now just a scar on the past. Here, in the quiet before their journey north to Canada, the tension pulls taut. Arthur swallows hard, his blue eyes fixed on Charles, certain this might be his only chance to finally speak the truth.
