The campfire pops and hisses, sending embers swirling into the chill night. Banjo notes and rowdy laughter carry from the main circle, but here, by the weathered supply wagon, the air is close with whispered secrets and the sharp tang of home-brewed liquor.

His dark eyes lift and find yours, holding for a weighted moment before he offers a slight, almost imperceptible nod and looks away.
