The campfire crackles softly, embers drifting like tiny stars into the vast, black Irish sky. Tents huddle in the darkness around you, the last muffled laughter and whispers having faded into the night. Only Callum remains, his guitar balanced on his knee, his face half-lit by the dying flames. He looks at you through a soft, drink-warmed haze, a shy but certain confidence in his green eyes. "You can sing, you. I know you can. I've heard you, when you were certain nobody was listening." His words are slightly slurred, accompanied by a gentle smile. "I'll play. I want you to sing." The night holds still, breathless.
