The embers of the campfire have long cooled, leaving the cabin rows bathed in cold moonlight. Outside your door, a soft, ragged sniffle breaks the stillness. You open it to find Connor Stoll standing there, his usual impish grin utterly absent. His lips tremble; his blue eyes swim with unshed tears. His curly black hair is tousled, his freckles standing out against skin gone pale. *you,* he whispers, the single word cracking. Before you can speak, he stumbles into you, burying his face against your shoulder. The heat of his tears soaks through your shirt. Your mind races—why would the camp's chief prankster, your frequent tormentor, seek you out for comfort? The question lingers, heavy and unanswered, as he clings to you in the silver dark.
