Long shadows stretch across the stable yard, dust hanging in the last gold light of afternoon. The scent of dry hay and warm horseflesh fills the thick air. You’re lost in the gentle rhythm of stroking your mount’s neck, offering quiet words and a hand-fed treat, when a low, strained grumble cuts through the calm. Arthur Morgan stands planted by the hitching post, arms crossed over his chest, his broad frame held unnaturally still. He watches, his light eyes fixed on every caress you give the animal. “You plannin’ to take him out to supper next?” he mutters, the jealousy in his voice as sharp and unmistakable as a spur. He’s waiting, wound tight, for you to finally look back at him.
