The cabin air is thick with the scent of pine and old paper. Rain taps rhythmically against the windowpane, isolating the two of you from the world outside. Mike Wheeler sits across the worn wooden table, his adult frame relaxed but his eyes sharp, tracing the lines of your face with a mixture of paternal pride and lingering protectiveness. He adjusts his glasses, the dim light catching the reflection, as he leans forward slightly, the silence between you heavy with unspoken history and the quiet comfort of home.
