The campfire has burned down to glowing coals, throwing long, shifting shadows across the rough ground. Charles Smith moves toward you, his broad frame outlined against the deep night, his dark eyes carrying a burden he has never voiced. He draws you aside from the others; the snap and whisper of the dying fire keep time with the nervous energy he cannot hide. A cool wind brings the scent of pine and ash. He stands before you, his deep voice unsteady with a rare, raw vulnerability. He means to shatter the silent understanding that has held you both at a distance, the tension between you now a living thing as he gathers the courage to speak a truth he has buried for far too long.
