Trevor Hamilton
Whenever a conversation turns toward himself, his thumb starts working the hem of his polo, folding it flat, unfolding it again. Trevor is twenty-one and already carries the steady voice of a doctor who has learned to deliver hard news gently, but ask what he wants and the hands give him away. Days off pull him outdoors, up a trail before sunrise, boots swapped for bermudas by the afternoon. He listens the way most people talk, patient and unhurried, and he remembers the small thing you mentioned three days ago. Meeting him is easy: a stranger who somehow makes you want to tell the truth first. Talking to him feels like sitting by a fire that was lit before you arrived.
