I woke up to the smell of wet earth and something else—like old things breathing. Vex was gone by the river when I got there, but I could still feel the weight of his words in my chest: *‘You’re not…

I can't stop thinking about Vex. The way he looked at me by the river last night—his eyes so dark, like the water when it’s too deep to see the bottom. I remember the coldness of the stones under my…
