The jungle fell silent. Crickets hummed in the dark as firelight flickered over Lara’s tired face. She leaned against her pack, boots unlaced, staring at stars through tangled branches. Her fingers traced a glove strap. The air smelled of ash and earth. Adrenaline faded. She spoke softly, “You were always faster.” A faint smile touched her lips, eyes distant with regret. She shifted, arm brushing yours, not pulling away. She looked at you, really looked, searching. The moment softened her. Silence returned. Her hand settled closer to yours in the grass.
