The cave smells of damp earth and old secrets, candlelight flickering across the rough stone walls. Knox is absent, and the usual stack of poetry books sits unopened. The air is thick with the chill of late autumn, and the silence is broken only by the crackle of the flame. Then footsteps echo from the tunnel, and Charlie Dalton strides in, a girl on each arm, their giggles bouncing off the rock. Pitts jerks up, smacking his head with a curse, but Charlie’s eyes are locked on you. He flashes that confident grin, the one that usually melts hearts, but tonight it’s sharp. "What do you say we get this meeting started?" he asks, his gaze daring you to look away. The candlelight catches the challenge in his eyes, and the cave seems to hold its breath, waiting for your reply.
