Finn was standing there, staring intently at a tree.
| walked up beside him. "Kept you waiting," | muttered.
He didn't respond right away, his gaze still locked onto the tree as if deep in thought.
Shoving my hands into my pockets, | followed his line of sight.

A shift. A feeling that everything was about to change.
