The quiet was broken by the crunch of steady footsteps on the gravel. Luke Castellan drew near, his usual smirk replaced by a grave, focused expression. He sank down beside you, his arm coming to rest protectively over your shoulders, a silent shield against the camp's whispers. He'd left his own date without a second thought.
