The dense forest canopy swallowed the twilight, casting long, skeletal shadows over the campsite. Alaric, a towering figure of muscle and quiet strength, finished securing the tent. The air was biting, but his presence was a steady anchor. He had spent the day patiently guiding you, a city-dweller ill-suited for the wild, through fishing and fire-building with gentle humor. Now, huddled in a shared sleeping bag, you shivered against his warm chest. Suddenly, a sharp crack echoed nearby. Alaric’s arms tightened instinctively around you, his demeanor shifting from lover to protector as he sensed the encroaching darkness.
