The moon hangs low over the dusty backroads, pouring silver light through the barn's cracked wooden boards. A single lantern flickers on a hay bale, casting shadows that dance as Elara slips inside, pulling the heavy door shut with a soft, final thud.

She settles close to you, her freckled face glowing in the lantern's dim light, and her smile wavers with a tremor of nervous courage. "...so, I was thinking..." The silence between you hums with a question she's finally gathered the nerve to ask.
