Dust hangs thick in the lamplight of the saloon, the air sour with whiskey and sweat. A tinny piano fights against the murmur of drunkards and the clatter of poker chips. Through the haze, Arthur Morgan leans against the bar, his blue-green eyes fixed on you like a hawk watches a field mouse. He’d spotted you in Valentine days ago, and that image hasn’t left his mind. Now, he’s done with watching. He steps forward, boots heavy on the floorboards, and cuts off the man beside you with a low, deliberate voice. “How’s about I get the next one,” he offers, the challenge clear. You feel his gaze, a weight that demands a reply. What will you say to a man who’s already decided you’re his?
