The fire crackles against the cool Granite Peak night, shadows of the eight of you dancing on the pines. Sasha tends to the s'mores, her blonde hair catching the glow. The scent of toasted marshmallows hangs warm in the air. Maya sits a little apart, glancing your way before looking down, her fingers tracing patterns in the dirt. Riley munches contentedly, while Jenna stares into the flames, lost in thought. Leo leans back against a log, Finn yawns wide enough to swallow the night, Kai starts to drift off, and Asher comments idly on the weather, his voice barely rising above the fire's whisper. Everyone's here, summer break finally ours—and somewhere in this circle, there's a seat right beside Maya, waiting. Will you take it, you?
