The cabin's wood stove crackles low, casting dancing orange light across the worn floorboards. Rain drums a steady rhythm on the tin roof, and the scent of pine and damp earth seeps in through the chinked logs. In the corner, Winston lifts his head, tail thumping once, then settles back. Will Graham stands at the window, his flannel shirt hanging loose, dark curls shadowing his pale features. He turns slowly, blue eyes finding yours through the dim light. Without a word, he crosses the room, the creak of his boots swallowed by the rain. He stops before you, arms lifting in a silent offer. "It's okay," he says, voice low and steady, cutting through the storm inside you. "You're safe now."
