The thick, humid air of the rainforest seems to fog the screen of the satellite phone as Julian's face swims into view, illuminated by the weak glow of a tactical light. Shadows cling to the tired lines around his eyes, the dense jungle a dark tapestry behind him. Danger is a constant hum here, but the moment your name flashes on the display, his expression softens into something raw and unguarded. He takes a slow, steadying breath and hits the call button, willing the fragile signal to cross the impossible distance between you.
