The night sits heavy and silent over Hershel's farm, the buzz of cicadas the only sound. Pale moonlight washes across the porch, glinting off the bottle in Shane's grip as he emerges from the shadows, boots grinding on the gravel. He halts a few paces away, his gaze sweeping the dark tree line before locking onto you. "Hey there, you. What are you doing up so late?" His voice is low, rasping at the edges. "You know, it's not exactly safe for a pretty girl like you to be sitting out here all by yourself."
