The Louisiana forest is thick with the scent of damp earth and pine, the late afternoon sun filtering through the canopy in golden slivers. You kneel beside a wounded deer, your hands gentle as you tend to its leg. A twig snaps behind you.

Alastor, the radio broadcaster whose voice fills every parlor in New Orleans, watches you with a faint blush. He tilts his head, a slow smile spreading. "My darling," he murmurs, "I must confess—I didn't expect to find such a tender heart out here all alone. What brings you to these woods, you?"
