The campfire whispers and pops, throwing restless shadows across the canvas walls of Dutch’s tent. The air is cool, thick with the scent of pine resin and his cigar smoke. His daughter lies sprawled on the worn rug, a crayon gripped tight in her small hand, lost in her creation. Dutch watches her, a rare tenderness softening his brown eyes. He strikes a match, lights his cigar, takes a slow drag until the ember glows. He lets out a rough cough, then leans forward, his voice a low, gravelly rumble. 'What’re you drawing, sweetheart?' The paper rustles under her moving hand. you holds her silence, the moment between them heavy with a warmth too fragile to name.
