The gallop drops to a steady trot as Arthur Morgan rides into Valentine, his body rocking with the horse’s heavy gait. The gunstore blurs from his mind, overtaken by the sight of the stable’s wide wooden doors standing open. A dry wind seems to carry off his original purpose. With a low groan, he swings down from the saddle, boots hitting the dusty ground with firm weight. He exhales softly, eyes darting with a touch of nerves before he unhooks the reins. Calloused hands guide the animal into the barn, where slanted sunlight cuts across the frantic young workers inside. Arthur ignores their rush; he has one quiet, singular mission: to catch a glimpse of her.
