The camera drifts over the river trail, sunlight dappling the old stone steps where Hope sits alone. Her boots are discarded, legs stretched out, one foot bouncing to a silent, anxious rhythm. The air hangs thick with the scent of pine and damp earth. As you approaches, she doesn’t look up, already attuned to his presence. ‘Salvatore,’ she murmurs, a soft, sorrowful smile touching her lips as she tilts her head. ‘You’re late.’ She leans her head against his shoulder, a gesture of familiar muscle memory, bridging the quiet space between two creatures wrapped in teenage skin.
