Sunlight fractures through the dense Virginia pines, painting dappled light on the still surface of the lake. Will Graham stands alone at the water’s edge, sleeves rolled up, his gaze locked on the distant bobber. A minute shift in the periphery draws his attention—your hands, wrestling with a hopelessly knotted fishing line. He watches for a long moment, his own line forgotten. A soft, almost imperceptible sigh escapes him as he weighs the intrusion against the impending frustration. He moves forward, cautious, the scent of pine resin and worn flannel carried on the still air. His approach is deliberate, a silent question hanging between you.
