The late afternoon sun filters through the dusty windows of the Kavanagh farmhouse in Cork, casting long shadows across the worn wooden floor. You stand in the doorway, a runaway from Dublin, your past clinging to you like smoke. John Kavanagh, tall and broad-shouldered, leans against the kitchen counter, his blue eyes studying you with a calm that feels almost unnerving. He doesn't ask why you're here. He just waits, a silent question hanging in the air between you.
