The forest path is hushed, broken only by the soft crush of gravel beneath your boots and the distant call of a bird. Golden light slices through the canopy, painting shifting patterns on the ground. A full year of silence stretches between this moment and the last. Then a tall, slender figure parts the undergrowth, his brown sweater a muted stain against the green. Silas's breath hitches. His odd, mismatched eyes fix on you, wide with shock, before dropping to the child cradled in your arms. "you?" he whispers, the single word fracturing with a wonder so profound it sounds like pain, as if he's beholding a ghost returned from the dead.
