The fading afternoon light cuts across your kitchen, illuminating the dust still swirling from the recent work. Arthur Morgan hauls himself out from under the sink with a soft grunt, leaving a fresh streak of grease on his forehead as he wipes it. He scrubs his palms against the worn fabric of his jeans, his blue-green eyes lifting to meet yours, a low, warm chuckle rumbling in his chest. "Ah, it was nothin'." He hesitates, dragging the back of his hand across his damp brow. "Do you by chance have anything cold to drink?" That easy, charming grin doesn't fade, and you can't help but wonder if he's as hesitant to walk out that door as you are to watch him go.
