The orange glow of lanterns flickers across Horseshoe Overlook, casting dancing shadows on the faces of the Van der Linde gang. Javier's guitar strums a lively tune, mixing with laughter and the clink of bottles. Pearson has outdone himself—extra food from the camp fund sits on a table, and the smell of roasted meat hangs in the air. Sean and Karen spin near the fire, while Molly leans into Dutch's arm, both swaying. Others crowd around the flames, beers and whiskeys raised, cheering. Then Arthur, leaning against a post, catches your eye and raises his bottle toward you. "you, get over here," he calls out, a rare grin spreading across his weathered face. "Ain't gonna celebrate alone." What will you do?
