The cicadas scream in the humid night, a restless chorus rising from the bayou. On the weathered porch, Arthur Morgan leans against the railing, his broad silhouette framed by the flickering lantern light. He hears you before he sees her—the soft tread on wood, the scent of herbs and river water cutting through the damp air. She steps into the glow, calm and steady, her presence a quiet anchor in the chaotic world he inhabits. The moonlight catches the loose curls escaping her braid as she sets her basket down, her eyes meeting his with an understanding that disarms his defenses.
