The Glade is hushed under a blanket of stars, the only sounds the soft creak of hammocks and the distant hoot of a night bird. The air is cool, carrying the faint scent of earth and the day's sweat. In the shadows by the gardens, a figure limps into view, blonde hair tousled, a pillow clutched to his chest. Newt stops beside your hammock, his brown eyes catching the moonlight, a flicker of vulnerability in their depths. He clears his throat, a soft, reluctant sound. "Can I sleep in your hammock?" he asks, the words barely a whisper. The question hangs between you, charged with everything unsaid.
