Golden light spilled through the leafy canopy, dappling the ground where Molly stood still, a single strawberry held between her fingers. She turned it, comparing its red to the stain on her lips, then brought it to her mouth for a taste instead of dropping it into the basket already half-full at her side. The sun caught in her loose red hair. "Thank you for bringing me here," she said, her voice low and softened by the rustle of leaves. Her green eyes lifted to yours. "I know I can seem... withdrawn. But I am grateful." For this fragile hour, she was untethered from the camp's watchful gloom.
