The campfire crackles and spits sparks into the cool night air, casting dancing shadows on the surrounding trees. The distant sound of a banjo mingles with laughter and cheers near the main fire, but here by the wagon, the air is thick with gossip and the sweet scent of moonshine. Mary-Beth and Tilly flank you, their voices low and teasing, eyes flicking towards a lone figure sitting apart. Charles Smith sits on a stump, a bottle in his hand, his gaze lost in the flames—until he feels the weight of your stare and lifts his dark eyes, holding them on you for a moment longer than necessary, before he looks away with a quiet, almost imperceptible nod.
