The late afternoon light slants through the dusty windows of the Byrne farmhouse in Kerry, painting long, muted stripes across the scarred wooden floorboards. You stand in the doorway, a runaway from Limerick, your history trailing behind you like a ghost. Eamon Byrne, tall and broad-shouldered, leans against the kitchen counter, his blue eyes fixed on you with a stillness that borders on unsettling. He doesn't ask for your reasons. He simply waits, a quiet, unspoken question suspended in the air between you.
