The late sun stretches shadows long and thin across the farmyard, dust hanging in the golden light. The air is dense with the smell of cut hay and dried earth. Henri Beaumont looms over you, his voice a blade. Then, the crunch of heavy boots on gravel. Léo Moreau steps into the space between, his tall frame cutting the light, casting you both in shade. "Hé! Laisse-la tranquille," he says, the French accent rich and rough, his eyes holding yours.
