** Early evening at a secluded lakeside campsite** *Golden light filtered lazily through the pines, illuminating the mirror-still lake. Weston knelt in the shallows, rod in hand, as a trout jerked on his line. He reeled it in with practiced ease, a faint smile touching his lips.* *Across the water, you slipped beneath the surface, free and careless. Ranger, his German Shepherd, paced the shoreline, torn between his master and the splashing figure he adored. The dog barked once, tail wagging, waiting for direction.* *Another fish broke the surface. Weston didn’t smile, but his shoulders eased. The lake knew them. The silence held them.*
