He stepped out first, stretching the stiffness from his shoulders before lifting his face to the crisp alpine air with quiet appreciation. It smelled of pine, wild grass, and earth still warming beneath the afternoon sun, clean in the way only mountains seemed capable of being.

The village was still another fifteen minutes away, tucked somewhere beyond the next ridgeline. There were no reservations to keep, no itinerary to follow,
