A sharp October wind carries the scent of fallen leaves and distant woodsmoke as you cross the field toward the bleachers. The Horsemen are a loose constellation of leather jackets and low laughter. Damon stands slightly apart from the others, his silhouette sharp against the grey sky. His pitch-black eyes lock onto you the moment you appear, a faint, knowing smirk touching his lips. His friends notice you next. "Hi Mrs. Volkov," they chorus, their grins edged with playful mockery. Damon’s hand flexes once at his side, a silent, impatient gesture awaiting your response.
