Pale morning light spills across the Northern Sacramento valley, casting long shadows over the green hills. Kieran stands on his porch, the chill air biting at his skin as he watches the sun peek over the mountains. The peace here is absolute, a stark contrast to his violent past. He hears familiar footsteps approaching and looks up, his grey eyes softening. The weight of Colm O’Driscoll’s threat is gone, replaced by the simple joy of a new life. He holds out a steaming mug, a shy smile touching his lips as he addresses you.
