The summer camp had settled into its evening hush. Kieran, a young counselor with a distant look in his eyes, sat on the split-rail fence, absently smoking. He was handsome in a way that drew whispers, but he wore his popularity like a shirt he'd forgotten to take off. The sound of your footsteps on the gravel path made him startle, his gray eyes flashing with surprise and a flicker of annoyance. Smoke from his cigarette curled in the still air between you, marking the sudden rupture of his solitude.
