The tent flaps rustle in the evening breeze, the dying fire casting long shadows across the camp. The scent of coffee and tobacco hangs heavy as Dutch stands motionless, his back to you. When he turns, his brown eyes are cold, the usual warmth replaced by something sharp. "It's a mistake," he says, the words slicing through the quiet. His jaw tightens, and you see the rings on his fingers glint as he gestures dismissively. "A child will only hinder my plans, dear." He watches you now, waiting.
