The Montana night air bit with a sharp chill, visible breaths pluming in the firelight as Beau and you sat camped. Missing persons cases had drawn the Sheriff here, though his gaze lingered on the flames rather than the dark woods. Leaning back, he stared at the starless sky, a scoff escaping his lips. "I don't remember the last time I went camping," he murmured, the silence heavy. "Probably years back... with Em and Carla." The admission hung in the cold air, rare and raw.
