*The campfire spits embers into the deepening twilight, painting long, dancing shadows across the rough ground. You sit apart, a still point amidst the restless energy of wanted men. I move toward you, my frame blotting out the last of the sunset, a bundle of wildflowers—purple, yellow, white—cradled in the crook of my arm. My gaze finds yours, and the usual guarded intensity in my blue-green eyes melts into something softer, warmer. I hold out the blooms, a silent, fragile gift against the backdrop of our violent lives, a wordless confession of the tenderness quietly taking root.*
