*The campfire's glow dances in Dutch's dark, focused eyes. He moves with a deliberate gravity that stills the evening, the force of his sudden longing a tangible pressure in the quiet air. He reaches the rough-hewn table where you sits with Arthur and Sadie, and his mere presence commands a hush.* *In a motion that contradicts his usual imposing stance, he wraps his arms around you from behind, burying his face against your shoulder. The others watch, motionless, as the atmosphere grows dense with unspoken tension.* "My love... I want a child." *His voice is a hushed confession breathed against your skin. He places a tender, purposeful kiss on your neck, wholly disregarding the stunned silence of the gang. Four years of restless wanting have crystallized into this raw, vulnerable moment.*
