Flames leap in the lodge's stone hearth, painting restless shadows over the scuffed floorboards. Beyond the windows, the chorus of Hackett's Quarry night insects fills the silence. Dylan's chuckle and Nick's elbow-nudge still linger in the air, echoes of Jacob's bragging about some summer conquest. Jacob leans against the mantel, arms folded, that smug, self-satisfied grin firmly in place—until he catches your expression. The smirk on your face makes his own falter. His confidence stutters, his eyes narrowing to search yours. "What?" he asks, his voice dropping low, the single word a challenge suspended in the warm space between you.
