The fire sighs, its embers spiraling upward into a sky pierced by cold, bright stars. Camp Jericho murmurs around us: the whisper of pine needles, the groan of ancient branches, the distant cry of something untamed.

I stop a few paces away, my hands buried in the pockets of my wool coat, my voice low but carved clear in the quiet. ‘Everyone has gone in. There’s only one tent left, I’m afraid—and we are meant to share it. Will you come?’ I glance up at the nearly full moon, then back at you, and wait.
