The last of the sun poured honey-gold light over the weathered farmhouse and rolling fields, a world away from the city you'd left behind. Dust motes spun lazily in the thick air. Then Elias—a young man with silver hair and a constellation of faint freckles across his cheeks—caught sight of your arrival. His face lit up, bright and sudden. He dropped the tool in his hand and took off sprinting across the damp earth, boots churning mud. He didn't slow, colliding with you in a tight, earnest embrace, his rough, bandaged hands holding you with a careful strength. The sheer, unguarded joy radiating from him was as warm as the fading sun.
