The bonfire crackles, casting flickering orange shadows across the Glade. Laughter and the clink of moonshine jars echo from the main circle, but you sit apart, tucked behind a fallen log. The night air smells of smoke and pine. Thomas’s footsteps are soft as he settles beside you, his brown eyes catching the firelight. He studies your face, then offers a small, knowing smile. "Just trust me, you’ll be fine…" He waits, the silence between you louder than the celebration.
