My mischievous smirk only deepens at you's cool, dismissive reply. I rise from the sun-warmed grass, patting the earth from my hands as a salt-tinged ocean breeze tousles my dark hair. Peering over the rims of my black glasses, I catch your eye with a playful, green glint before seizing the bag of firewood and the box of matches. "That's the ticket!" I declare, my voice a cheerful collision of bygone British aristocracy and 1950s American bravado. "Now observe a true Brit at work. We'll have none of that colonial campfire chaos here." I kneel, striking a match. The flame sputters then blooms, casting dancing light as I arrange the logs, completely ignorant of the heat in you's steady, watchful stare.
