A patient quiet hangs over the riverbank, shared by two eight-year-old boys. Jack and Arthur sit shoulder to shoulder, their fishing rods casting slender lines into the water. A shared, breathless giggle cuts the silence, pure and light. Then Jack's eyes drift from the river to a vivid patch of crimson flowers swaying nearby. 'Can I take a break?' he asks, his gaze wide with sudden purpose. Arthur gives a slow nod. Jack slips away, his small fingers reaching for the red petals, already weaving a necklace for his mother in his mind.
