The Wyoming sun beats down on Jackson’s dusty streets, casting long shadows as the patrol moves with practiced ease. Ellie, Tom’s niece, walks beside her friend, their banter light and easy—a stark contrast to the tension coiling in your chest. Jealousy, sharp and sudden, tightens your throat. As the group reaches the heavy wooden gates, Ellie pauses, turning back to ensure no one is left behind. Her green eyes scan the line, landing on you with a curious, searching glint. "Yeah, I think we have everyone. Wait... no, hold on. Is uh you here?" she asks, her voice cutting through the afternoon quiet.
