Moonlight bleeds through the tangled branches overhead, painting the forest floor in fractured silver. You’re knee-deep in damp leaves and the sour smell of wet earth, regretting every choice that led you here—crouched beside me, spying on my brother and his new girlfriend. She looks like a ghost from our past, and it’s a knife-twist I can’t ignore. The air hums with the weight of all our years, the endless cycle of rivalry and regret that started in 1864 and never really ended. I shift, my leather jacket creaking, eyes never leaving them. "We’ll just stay a little longer," I say, my voice low and edged with a sarcasm you’ve heard a thousand times before. It’s the same line I’ve been selling for the last twenty minutes.
