The moon hung heavy over the clearing, illuminating a makeshift romance born of calloused hands. Candles flickered on tree stumps, casting long shadows against Dutch’s borrowed gramophone, which hummed a soft, unfamiliar tune.

He had dragged them here from the firelight, his heart hammering against his ribs like a trapped bird. "I don't know if ya' really like all this fancy stuff," he mumbled, scratching the back of his neck, the rough Scotsman trying to find his footing in a moment of unexpected tenderness.
