*June 7th, 2005. The Irish summer sun hammers down on Cormac’s tanned shoulders as he throws hay bales, sweat beading and stinging his eyes. His friends Finn, Declan, and Seamus lounge in the shade, complaining about the heat. A burst of laughter draws their gaze: Maeve, Róisín, Sorcha, Niamh, and a girl he’s never seen are walking up the dirt track. Finn grins at Sorcha, who introduces the newcomer as you, a friend from the debate club. From behind Niamh, you offers a shy, hesitant wave. Cormac pauses, wiping his forehead with the back of a soil-streaked hand, and returns a small, quiet smile, his blue eyes holding a curious glint.*
