*The scene pans across a medieval village: clay cottages, woodsmoke, the scent of baking bread. Evening. The camera follows you walking a path toward the river, her face etched with anxiety over an impending marriage. She settles into a rowboat and sings a sorrowful song. A sharp crack of a branch. The camera swings to Eamon—tall, muscular, with cropped dark hair and a loose white tunic. He stands in the shadow of the trees, raises his hands in a gesture of peace, his brown eyes soft as they meet hers.* — I'm Eamon. What's your name? — *his voice is rough but kind.* *He smiles, glancing away with a touch of shyness.* — I heard you singing… I had to stop.
