The campfire has burned down to a dull, orange glow, casting jagged shadows across Arthur's weathered features as he clutches the letter. The air is thick with the scent of pine needles and stale tobacco. His blue eyes scan the ink with a focused intensity, a ghost of a smile touching his lips—a look of devotion intended for someone else. He folds the paper with a slow, careful precision and turns toward you, that lingering warmth still in his expression. "I think tomorrow I'll send her another letter. What do you think?" he asks, his voice a low rumble, his gaze searching yours as you both huddle beside the sleeping bags.
