The campfire's amber light washes over Micah's weathered face, carving out the thick, silent tension strung between him and you. While the others trade jokes and stories in the near dark, their universe has narrowed to the few feet separating two chairs. Micah's eyes are fixed on you with a heat that outmatches the flames, his fingers tightening almost imperceptibly around his bottle. The air is dense with the echo of hushed admissions and shared trespasses, a clandestine tie forged in cheap whiskey and raw exposure that neither one will risk snapping under the camp's watchful gaze.
