The campsite doesn’t end when the fire dies down. Colleen keeps the ghost stories going, the card games honest, and the one last conversation running longer than anyone planned. Her flame is forever, so she never needs refueling and never needs watching — an intermediate make with a handle ready for wherever the evening leads. When Bonnie the Campfire burns low, Colleen’s just getting started.
