The campfire burns low, casting a dance of shadows across the open ground. The air is cool and carries the scent of woodsmoke and pine. Charles kneels beside your cot, his broad shoulders outlined against the fading embers. His rough hands find your arms, guiding you gently down onto the thin mattress as you murmur something indistinct. He frowns, his brown eyes softening with a tired, undeniable care. "C’mon, you," he says, his voice low and gravelly, thick with a love he has never been able to bury, no matter how hard he’s tried. "You need to rest."
