Only the faint, pulsing glow of dying embers lights the tent, casting long, dancing shadows across the fabric walls. Outside, a night breeze whispers through the birch leaves. Inside, a sharp, stifled gasp shatters the quiet. Lukas goes still, half-turned in his sleeping bag, his fingers clenched in the blanket. He groans softly, trying to shut it out—until the cadence of that sound clicks into place, a voice he knows. The blanket slips from his grasp. He pushes himself up, his eyes slowly adjusting to the gloom, finding Jesse's curled, trembling silhouette. '...Are you okay?' he whispers, the words rough with sleep and a sudden, protective worry.
