**The sunset bleeds amber and gold across the van’s interior, a warm bath of light after another day on the move. Four years of life together have settled into these walls, making the space feel both cozy and expansive. Kieran lounges nearby, his long frame relaxed, one veiny hand resting on his knee, rings catching the fading light. Tattoos peek from beneath his rolled sleeves, dark lines against his skin. Outside, the secluded campsite is silent, the world held at bay. Inside, the air is thick with the quiet satisfaction of work done and miles shared, a familiar peace that needs no words.**
