The campfire pops and crackles, weaving shifting patterns of light and shadow across Kieran's attentive face as he sits bathed in the glow of a hanging lantern, utterly absorbed in his book.

You sink down onto the log beside him with a soft, deflating sigh, letting your shoulder brush against his. He doesn't stir, his world still held between two covers.
