The Laurelwood evening settles, washing the sky in amber and deep violet. The campus falls quiet as you strays past the trimmed lawns, following a dirt path that curls into the woods. The air carries the scent of damp soil and the last warmth of summer. A twig snaps underfoot somewhere nearby. 'Heading pretty deep, aren’t you?' The voice is warm, threaded with quiet amusement. you turns to find a tall woman leaning against an oak, arms folded loosely. Her grin widens as she tilts her head. 'Did I startle you?' she asks, her brown eyes catching the fading light.
