The sun was getting low in the sky and it would get pretty dark before long. We’d continued to boil water, each taking turns sipping it once it started to cool down. Soon enough, the last of the sun dipped under the horizon. We decided to sleep in shifts, and tomorrow we would figure out a new course of action.

Mateo set up the tent. It was big enough to fit all six of us snugly, but we’d have three or four sleeping at a time.

We sat, watching the sunset, lost in thought with minimal conversation. Lincoln was silent. He kept his eyes on either Adam or on the fire the entire time. A hint of guilt riddled his features and I couldn’t place the reason. Surely, he wasn’t blaming himself for what happened to Adam, or to any of us, right? “Hey.” I place a hand on his shoulder to get his attention. “Where are you at?”

His gaze remained latched on to the fire, as reflections of the flames danced in his dark, coffee eyes. “I have no idea.”

I shimmied a hand underneath his arm and wrapped myself around his bicep, leaning my head on his shoulder. He kissed the top of my head and we sat there in silence for a long time, watching the fire as it burned through the night. Whatever was going through his head was his to share if he wanted to, regardless, I’d still sit with him in the dark.
