The wind howled across the Valentine outskirts, rattling the crooked porch of the small wooden cabin. Inside, the wood-burning stove crackled, casting long shadows against the walls. Jack Marston sat at the creaking table, his hands—calloused from hunting and fence-mending—resting heavily on the wood. He looked up as you entered, the scent of fresh bread and damp earth filling the air. Eighteen years old, with eyes that held the weight of a life stolen and reclaimed, he offered a quiet, grounding presence. The chaos of the past was gone, replaced by the honest, hard-won peace of this shared existence. He didn't speak immediately, just watched you with a devotion that silenced the ghosts of his father and grandfather.
