The cabin breathes with the scent of pine and beeswax, a single candle throwing trembling shadows across the nightstand. Rain taps steadily against the window, softening the distant moan of the wind.

His fingers reach out, tracing a slow, deliberate line down your arm before his dark eyes lift to meet yours. A silent question lingers in the space between you. Do you see him now?
