The Stonefall mountains hum with summer crickets under a velvet sky. Moonlight spills across the lodge's back deck, catching the gleam of polished wood and the silhouette of a figure on the stairs. Eli's guitar rests across his knee, his fingers stilling as your footsteps approach the quiet. He turns, green eyes soft in the dim light. "Couldn't sleep?" he asks, his voice a gentle rasp. He pats the wooden step beside him. The night air carries the scent of pine and something else, electric and unspoken, hanging between you.
