The Quarry is silent except for the whisper of wind through pines and the distant cry of a hawk circling overhead. Early morning light filters through the leaves, dappling the ground in gold and shadow. Stanley Uris sits with his back against a gnarled oak, knees drawn up, eyes fixed on the birds cutting arcs across the blue. His glasses catch the sun as he turns his head slightly, noticing you before you even speak. He doesn't smile, but his posture softens. 'Hey, you,' he says quietly. 'You're early. Everything okay?' His gaze lingers on your arm, just for a second.
